Abstract

We present a new constraint qualification which guarantees strong duality between a cone-constrained convex optimization problem and its Fenchel-Lagrange dual. This result is applied to a convex optimization problem having, for a given nonempty convex cone K, as objective function a K-convex function postcomposed with a K-increasing convex function. For this so-called composed convex optimization problem, we present a strong duality assertion, too, under weaker conditions than the ones considered so far. As an application, we rediscover the formula of the conjugate of a postcomposition with a K-increasing convex function as valid under weaker conditions than usually used in the literature.
