We apply the quadratic penalization technique to derive strong Lagrangian duality property for an inequality constrained invex program. Our results extend and improve the corresponding results in the literature. 1. Introduction It is known that Lagrangian duality theory is an important issue in optimization theory and methodology What is of special interest in Lagrangian duality theory is the so-called strong duality property that is there exists no duality gap between the primal problem and its Lagrangian dual problem. More specifically the optimal value of the primal problem is equal to that of its Lagrangian dual problem. For a constrained convex program a number of conditions have been obtained for its strong duality property see for example 1-3 and the references therein. It is also well known that penalty method is a very popular method in constrained nonlinear programming 4 . In 5 a quadratic penalization technique was applied to establish strong Lagrangian duality property for an invex program under the assumption that the objective function is coercive. In this paper we will .
