Abstract

We consider the following DC composite optimization problem (P): (Formula presented.) where (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) are proper convex functionals defined on locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces X and Y respectively, and h is a proper K-convex mapping from X to Y. By using the properties of the epigraph of the conjugate functions, we introduce some new regularity conditions and obtain complete characterizations for weak / strong / stable Fenchel dualities and for zero / stable zero duality gap properties of problem (P).
