A Motzkin-type theorem of the alternative in $L_p$ spaces

Abstract


A theorem of the  alternative (or a transposition theorem) asserts
that two systems are related in such a way that exactly one of them
is consistent. These theorems play a important  role in deriving
optimality conditions for wide classes of extremal problems. We will
present some generalizations of well known Motzkin's theorem of the
alternative, i.e., we focus on  Motzkin's theorem that represents a
continuous-time analogue of the original theorem.
