Abstract.In this paper, we study an optimization problem with equality and inequality constraints, where the corresponding functions have quasidifferentiable gradients. Two second-order necessary optimality conditions for this problem are proposed. The differences for convex compact sets proposed by Demyanov, and by Rubinov and Akhundov are used, respectively.
