Abstract
Necessity and sufficiency conditions are given for the existence of a finite set of redundant constraints which together with a given set of constraints in an optimization problem satisfy the Kuhn—Tucker, and the Guignard Constraint qualifications when the original set of constraints fails to satisfy either or both of them.
