Abstract

In this paper we give an analytical equivalent for the inclusion of a set to the Lebesque set of a convex function. Using this results, we obtain global optimality conditions (GOC) related to classical optimization theory for convex maximization and reverse-convex optimization. Several examples illustrate the effectiveness of these optimality conditions allowing to escape from stationary points and local extremums.
