Verifiable constraint qualifications for infinite-dimensional optimization problems and their applications to optimal control problems
This paper employs a finite codimensionality condition to establish an enhanced Fritz John condition for general constrained nonlinear infinite-dimensional optimization problems. In applications, this approach provides a new, unified framework for deriving first-order necessary conditions across a broad class of optimal control problems involving both deterministic and stochastic systems. Compared to existing constraint qualifications, our finite codimensionality condition, which is equivalent to the validity of certain \textit{a priori} estimates, yields a direct and analytically tractable verification method for each application. Furthermore, the core ideas of this method can be further extended to investigate the KKT conditions for infinite-dimensional optimization problems.
