Abstract

Because of its importance in optimization theory, the concept of convexity has been generalized in various ways. With these generalizations, to seek some practical criteria for them is especially important. In this paper, some criteria are developed for semi-prequasi-invexity, which includes prequasi-invexity as the special case. Mutual characterizations among semi-prequasi-invex functions, strictly semi-prequasi-invex functions, and strongly semi-prequasi-invex functions are presented.
