Abstract: Necessary and sufficient optimality conditions of the difference of convex functions are derived for unconstrained optimization problems. Connection between extremal properties of the difference of convex functions and the extremal properties of the difference of their conjugate functions is established. Duality theorems are proved. A smooth approximation of a d.c. function is investigated.
