Semi-Infinite Programming: Recent Trends of Development

It is well accepted that linear programming (LP) serves as an ideal for both theory and computation within the broad field of optimization. Semi-infinite programming is a next level of extension of LP that allows finitely many variables to appear in infinitely many constraints. During the last ten years, a series of international meetings has reconfirmed that the theoretical and practical manifestations and applications of this problem formulation are abundant and significant.
