Abstract

The concepts of conjugate duality are used to establish dual programs for a class of generalized nonlinear fractional programs. It is now known that, under certain restrictions, a symmetric duality exists for generalized linear fractional programs. In this paper, we establish this symmetric duality for the nonlinear case.
