Summary :

A homotopy method is proposed for numerically solving an infinite dimensional convex optimization problem (COP). In this method, in the first place, by introducing an auxiliary COP, which is easy to solve, the original COP is imbedded into a parametric COP. Then, the Kuhn-Tucker (K-T) equation is derived which is equivalent to the parametric COP. It is shown that this K-T equation belongs to a class of Approximation proper homotopy equations. Using this, a sequence of finite dimensional approximate equations are derived for the K-T equation. It is shown that under certain mild conditions these approximate equations can be always solved by finite dimensional homotopy method and numerical solutions for them can be identified. Moreover, using the Approximation properness of the K-T equation, it is shown that from such a sequence a subsequence can always be derived which is convergent to a solution of the K-T equation. In this paper, two types of auxiliary COP's are introduced and two types of K-T equations are considered, a fixed point homotopy type and a Newton homotopy type. Since applicability is slightly different, comparison of applicability is also discussed between them.
