Abstract

Sufficient conditions for upper semicontinuity of approximate solutions and continuity of the values of mathematical programming problems with respect to data perturbations are obtained by using the variational convergence, thereby generalizing many known results. Upper and approximate lower semicontinuity of solutions and multipliers in infinite dimensional convex programming are obtained under gamma convergence of the data.
