We propose to use the proximal point algorithm to regularize a “dual” problem of generalized fractional programs (GFP). The proposed technique leads to a new dual algorithm that generates a sequence which converges from below to the minimal value of the considered problem. At each step, the proposed algorithm solves approximately an auxiliary problem with a unique dual solution whose every cluster point gives a solution to the dual problem. In the exact minimization case, the sequence of dual solutions converges to an optimal dual solution. For a class of functions, including the linear case, the convergence of the dual values is at least linear.
