Abstract

In this work, we study infinite dimensional mathematical program with vanishing constraints (MPVC) as well as mathematical programs with complementary constraints. One of the major difficulty of MPVC and MPCC is that standard constraint qualifications are violated. In the literature, there are many relaxation studied. In this work, we propose a new relaxation scheme which considers a penalized problem in higher dimensions. Using this approach, we provide convergence results along with characterization of stationary points under appropriate assumptions.
