For an optimization problem with a composed objective function and composed constraint functions we determine, by means of the conjugacy approach based on the perturbation theory, some dual problems to it. The relations between the optimal objective values of these duals are studied. Moreover,...

Conjugate function theory is used to develop dual programs for nonseparable convex programs involving the square root function. This function arises naturally in finance when one measures the risk of a portfolio by its variance–covariance matrix, in stochastic programming under chance...
