RT journal article T1 Second-order optimality conditions for interval-valued functions A1 Ruiz Garzón, Gabriel A1 Osuna Gómez, Rafaela A1 Rufián Lizana, Antonio A1 Beato-Moreno, Antonio A2 Estadística e Investigación Operativa K1 Optimization problem K1 Generalized convexity K1 Second-order optimality AB This work is included in the search of optimality conditions for solutions to the scalarinterval optimization problem, both constrained and unconstrained, by means ofsecond-order optimality conditions. As it is known, these conditions allow us to rejectsome candidates to minima that arise from the first-order conditions. We will definenew concepts such as second-order gH-derivative for interval-valued functions,2-critical points, and 2-KKT-critical points. We obtain and present new types ofinterval-valued functions, such as 2-pseudoinvex, characterized by the property thatall their second-order stationary points are global minima. We extend the optimalitycriteria to the semi-infinite programming problem and obtain duality theorems.These results represent an improvement in the treatment of optimization problemswith interval-valued functions.
