Semi-infinite programming

In optimization theory, semi-infinite programming (SIP) is an optimization problem with a finite number of variables and an infinite number of constraints, or an infinite number of variables and a finite number of constraints. In the former case the constraints are typically parameterized.^[1]

Mathematical formulation of the problem

The problem can be stated simply as:

\min _{x\in X}\;\;f(x)

{\text{subject to: }}

g(x,y)\leq 0,\;\;\forall y\in Y

where

f:R^{n}\to R

g:R^{n}\times R^{m}\to R

X\subseteq R^{n}

Y\subseteq R^{m}.

SIP can be seen as a special case of bilevel programs in which the lower-level variables do not participate in the objective function.
