On global optimality conditions via separation functions. (English) Zbl 0983.90049

This paper examines some axiomatic definitions of separation functions that can be employed fruitfully in the analysis of side-constrained extremum problems. A study of their general properties points out connections with abstract convex analysis and recent generalizations of Lagrangian approaches to duality and exact penalty methods. Many concrete examples are mentioned.
