Minimization of smooth objective with conic constraint

I am interested in deriving first-order optimality conditions for \begin{equation} \min_{x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}}f(x)\\ \text{s.t. }x\in\mathcal{K} \end{equation} where $f$ is a smooth function and $\...

Can this constraint be cast as a second order cone constraint?

Can someone please explain if it possible to convert the following constraint into a second order cone programming formulation: $xy \ge ay + b$ Here $x,y$ are non negative decision variables, $a,b$ ...

Cone of feasible directions and radial cone

I am trying to prove if $A$ is convex and $x^*\in A$, then $D(A,x^*)=cone(A-x^*)$, where $D(A,x^*)=\{ d\in \mathbb{R^n}| \exists \delta >0$ such that $x^* +td \in A, \forall t \in (0,\delta) \}$ ...

Rewrite as second order cone constraint

Can someone please explain how to convert the following into a second order cone programming formulation: $\{(x,y,z,w,u): x,y,z,w \geq 0, (xyzw)^{\frac{1}{2}} \geq ||u||_2^2\}$ $\{(x,y,z,w,u): x,y,...

Sufficient condition for strict minimality in infinite-dimensional spaces

Consider the following statement: $\textbf{Statement:} $ Let $X$ be a normed space, $S\subseteq X$ and $\bar{x}\in S.$ Let $f:X \to \Bbb R$ be locally Lipschitz and directionally differentiable at $...

Finding Tangent Cone of a Convex Set

Consider the problem $$\text{minimize}\,\,\, -8x_{1}+x_{2} \\ \text{subject to}\,\,\,\,\,x_{2} \leq 8, \\ (x_{1}-4)^{2} - x_{2} \leq 8 $$ By using the method of Lagrange multipliers, I found the ...

is this sets $A(x) $ ,$B(x)$cone?

$A(x)=\{d\in \mathbb{R^n}: \nabla f(x)*d < 0\}$ $B(x)=\{d\in \mathbb{R^n}: \forall i $ $s.t. g_i(x)=0 , \nabla g_i(x)*d < 0\}$ A,B is a set related below optimization problem $\min f(x)$ s....
