Semi-infinite programming

In optimization theory, semi-infinite programming (SIP) is an optimization problem with a finite number of variables and an infinite number of constraints, or an infinite number of variables and a finite number of constraints. In the former case the constraints are typically parameterized.[1]

Mathematical formulation of the problem

edit

The problem can be stated simply as:

 
 
 

where

 
 
 
 

SIP can be seen as a special case of bilevel programs in which the lower-level variables do not participate in the objective function.
