Abstract
Charnes and Cooper (1962) reduced a linear fractional program to a linear program with help of a suitable transformation of variables. We show that this transformation preserves pseudoconvexity of a function. The result is then used to characterize sums of two linear fractional functions which are still pseudoconvex. This in turn leads to a characterization of pseudolinear sums of two linear fractional functions.File in questo prodotto:
