This paper extends our previous work on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions and Lagrangian approaches for enhancing machine learning techniques. While maintaining the foundational mathematical framework established in our earlier research, we introduce two novel theorems that significantly expand the application of KKT conditions to support vector machines (SVMs) with non-convex loss functions. The first theorem provides a generalized framework for KKT conditions with relaxed convexity requirements, establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for local optimality in non-convex SVM formulations. The second theorem introduces a dual regularization approach that guarantees solution existence even in pathological machine learning optimization scenarios. We demonstrate applications of these theoretical advances through case studies on high-dimensional, imbalanced datasets where traditional SVM formulations often fail to converge or yield poor generalization. Our findings contribute to both optimization theory and practical machine learning implementations by enabling robust classification in scenarios previously considered intractable. This work represents a continuation of our research project exploring the intersection of optimization theory and machine learning.
