  "abstract": "This article develops a duality principle for a class of optimization problems in $\\mathbb{R}^n$. The results are obtained based on standard tools of convex analysis and on a well known result of Toland for D.C. optimization. Global sufficient optimality conditions are also presented as well as relations between the critical points of the primal and dual formulations. Finally we formally prove there is no duality gap between the primal and dual formulations in a local extremal context.",
