Abstract

In this article, we study semi-definite and semi-infinite programming problems (SDSIP), which includes semi-infinite linear programs and semi-definite programs as special cases. We establish that a uniform duality between the homogeneous (SDSIP) and its Lagrangian-type dual problem is equivalent to the closedness condition of certain cone. Moreover, this closedness condition was assured by a generalized canonically closedness condition and a Slater condition. Corresponding results for the nonhomogeneous (SDSIP) problem were obtained by transforming it into an equivalent homogeneous (SDSIP) problem.
