In this note we address the problem of constructing dominating sets for problems whose objective is a componentwise nondecreasing function of (possibly an infinite number of) convex functions, and we show how to obtain a convex dominating set in terms of dominating sets of simpler problems.

In this paper we review known minimax results with applications in game theory and show that these results are easy consequences of the first minimax result for a two person zero sum game with finite strategy sets published by von Neumann in 1928. Among these results are the well known minimax...

The present paper discusses an approach to solve the joint replenishment problem in a production environment with concave production cost functions. Under this environment, the model leads to a global optimization problem, which is investigated by using some standard results from convex...

In this technical note we give a short proof based on standard results in convex analysis of some important characterization results listed in Theorem 3 and 4 of [1]. Actually our result is slightly general since we do not specify the convex set X. For clarity we use the same notation for the...
