The feasible set for the perturbation parameter (u, t) consists of the points of X
satisfying the coordinatewise inequality constraints g i x ≤ u i and the affine equality
constraint A x + b = t.
Instances For
A point lies in the perturbation feasible set exactly when it belongs to X, satisfies every
inequality constraint, and meets the affine equality constraint.
The perturbation value function assigns to (u, t) the infimum of f over the feasible set
cut out by the perturbation constraints.
Instances For
Evaluating the perturbation value function at (u, t) gives the infimum of f over the
corresponding feasible set.
Relaxing the inequality perturbation coordinates enlarges the perturbation feasible set.
For fixed equality perturbation t, the perturbation value function is antitone in the
inequality perturbation parameter.
Any effective-domain point of the perturbation value function forces the base set X to be
nonempty.
Properness of the perturbation value function implies that the underlying constraint set X
is nonempty.
Helper for Lemma 3.4: membership in each perturbation feasible slice is classically decidable.
Instances For
Helper for Lemma 3.4: the joint feasible-if objective equals f x on feasible perturbation

Lemma 3.4: if f and all constraint functions g i are convex and X is convex, then the
perturbation value function is convex on ℝ^m × ℝ^p.
