Abstract

We consider a parametric standard optimization problem with smooth
problem data and discuss the question under which condition its stationary point set
stably constitutes a topological manifold having the same dimension as that of the
parameter space. In other words, we ask, when this set is locally a manifold of
that dimension and it also stays such a manifold after small
perturbations of the problem data.

We show that this question can only be answered affirmatively
if the Mangasarian-Fromovitz Constraint Qualification holds at
the stationary point under consideration.
