Consider the optimization problems (no assumption of convexity here)

P = pi P2 P3 = 13 P23 = min fo(x) XEX

min fo(x) XEX min f(x) xeting min fo(x), xen3

1. Prove that p*≥  p*(i.e., enlarging the feasible set cannot worsen the optimal objective).
2. Prove that, if p*= p*2, then it holds that

3. Assume that all problems above attain unique optimal solutions. Prove that, under such hypothesis, if p*= p*2, then it holds that

P = pi P2 P3 = 13 P23 = min fo(x) XEX min fo(x) XEX min f(x) xeting min fo(x), xen3
