Using the variational analysis technique, in terms of the epi-coderivative, we provide Lagrange multiplier rules for a class of semi-infinite optimization problems where all functions are lower semicontinuous or locally Lipschitz.
Key Words: Lagrange multiplier; subdifferential; normal cone; epi-coderivative; Borel measure
