Abstract

In this contribution we are going to discuss the extension of the method of feasible directions[1],[2],[3] to programming problems involving an infinite number of constraints. Problems of this type arise frequently in applications. We shall be working with arbitrary convex approximations instead of with linearizations, simply to emphasize the fact that the feasible direction method belongs to that class of methods where not differentiability but rather convex-likeness of the functions involved is the essential property.
