Gap functions for a system of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with set-valued mappings

In this paper, some gap functions for three classes of a system of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with set-valued mappings (for short, SGVQEP) are investigated by virtue of the nonlinear scalarization function of Chen, Yang and Yu. Three examples are then provided to demonstrate these gap functions. Also, some gap functions for three classes of generalized finite dimensional vector equilibrium problems (GFVEP) are derived without using the nonlinear scalarization function method. Furthermore, a set-valued function is obtained as a gap function for one of (GFVEP) under certain assumptions.

By virtue of a nonlinear scalarization function, the gap functions for two classes of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems are obtained.

Existence of Solutions and Variational Principles for Generalized Vector Systems

By means of generalized KKM theory, we prove a result on the existence of solutions and we establish general variational principles, that is, vector optimization formulations of set-valued maps for vector generalized systems. A perturbation function is involved in general variational principles. We extend the theory of gap functions for vector variational inequalities to vector generalized systems and we prove that the solution sets of the related vector optimization problems of set-valued maps contain the solution sets of vector generalized systems. A further vector optimization problem is defined in such a way that its solution set coincides with the solution set of a weak vector generalized system.

Systems of Simultaneous Generalized Vector Quasiequilibrium Problems and their Applications

In this paper, we introduce systems of simultaneous generalized vector equilibrium problems and prove the existence of their solutions. As application of our results, we derive the existence theorems for solutions of systems of vector saddle–point problems. Consequently, we prove the existence of a solution of systems of generalized minimax inequalities. Further application of our results is also given to establish the existence of a solution of a Debreu-type equilibrium problem for vector-valued functions.

A non-smooth version of Minty variational principle

The aim of this article is to study the relationship between generalized Minty vector variational inequalities and non-smooth vector optimization problems. Under pseudoconvexity or pseudomonotonicity, we establish the relationship between an efficient solution of a non-smooth vector optimization problem and a generalized Minty vector variational inequality. This offers a non-smooth version of existing Minty variational principle.     

Refinements on Gap Functions and Optimality Conditions for Vector Quasi-Equilibrium Problems via Image Space Analysis

By means of some new results on generalized systems, vector quasi-equilibrium problems with a variable ordering relation are investigated from the image perspective. Lagrangian-type optimality conditions and gap functions are obtained under mild generalized convexity assumptions on the given problem. Applications to the analysis of error bounds for the solution set of a vector quasi-equilibrium problem are also provided. These results are refinements of several authors’ works in recent years and also extend some corresponding results in the literature.

Semicontinuity of Solution Mappings of Parametric Generalized Vector Equilibrium Problems

In this paper, we study the ε-generalized vector equilibrium problem (ε-GVEP) and the ε-extended vector equilibrium problem (ε-EVEP), which can be regarded as approximate problems to the generalized vector equilibrium problems (GVEP). Existence results for ε-GVEP and ε-EVEP are established. We investigate also the continuity of the solution mappings of ε-GVEP and ε-EVEP. In particular, two results concerning the lower semicontinuity of the solution mappings of ε-GVEP and ε-EVEP are presented. This research was partially supported by Grant NSC 95-2811-M-110-010.     

Efficient solutions in generalized linear vector optimization

This paper establishes several new facts on generalized polyhedral convex sets and shows how they can be used in vector optimization. Among other things, a scalarization formula for the efficient solution sets of generalized linear vector optimization problems is obtained. We also prove that the efficient solution set of a generalized linear vector optimization problem in a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector space is the union of finitely many generalized polyhedral convex sets and it is connected by line segments.     

Generalized Vector Equilibrium Problems in Generalized Convex Spaces

In this paper, we introduce and study a class of abstract generalized vector equilibrium problems (AGVEP) in generalized convex spaces which includes most vector equilibrium problems, vector variational inequality problems, generalized vector equilibrium problems, and generalized vector variational inequality problems as special cases. By using the generalized GKKM and generalized SKKM type theorems due to the first author, some new existence results of equilibrium points for the AGVEP are established in noncompact generalized convex spaces. As consequences, some recent results in the literature are obtained under much weaker assumptions.     

Generalized Motzkin Theorems of the Alternative and Vector Optimization Problems

In this paper, we introduce a definition of generalized convexlike functions (preconvexlike functions). Then, under the weakened convexity, we study vector optimization problems in Hausdorff topological linear spaces. We establish some generalized Motzkin theorems of the alternative. By use of these theorems of the alternative, we obtain some Lagrangian multiplier theorems. A saddle-point theorem and a scalarization theorem are also derived.Communicated by F.

Existence of solutions of generalized vector equilibrium problems in reflexive Banach spaces

In this paper, a generalized vector equilibrium problem with set-valued maps defined on a reflexive Banach space is considered. By using the recession method, we first give the conditions under which the solution set is non-empty, convex and weakly compact, and then extend it to the strong generalized vector equilibrium problem. This facilitates generalizing and modifying various existence theorems. Furthermore, the topological properties of the solution set are studied and it is shown that the solution set includes some boundary points.     

Weighted Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we introduce weighted variational inequalities over product of sets and system of weighted variational inequalities. It is noted that the weighted variational inequality problem over product of sets and the problem of system of weighted variational inequalities are equivalent. We give a relationship between system of weighted variational inequalities and systems of vector variational inequalities. We define several kinds of weighted monotonicities and establish several existence results for the solution of the above-mentioned problems under these weighted monotonicities. We introduce also the weighted generalized variational inequalities over product of sets, that is, weighted variational inequalities for multivalued maps and systems of weighted generalized variational inequalities. Extensions of weighted monotonicities for multivalued maps are also considered. The existence of a solution of weighted generalized variational inequalities over product of sets is also studied. The existence results for a solution of weighted generalized variational inequality problem give also the existence of solutions of systems of generalized vector variational inequalities.

The results in this paper unify, generalize and extend some known results in the literature.     

On Optimality Conditions for Henig Efficiency and Superefficiency in Vector Equilibrium Problems

Abstract

Necessary optimality conditions for local Henig efficient and superefficient solutions of vector equilibrium problems involving equality, inequality, and set constraints in Banach space with locally Lipschitz functions are established under a suitable constraint qualification via the Michel–Penot subdifferentials. With assumptions on generalized convexity, necessary conditions for Henig efficiency and superefficiency become sufficient ones. Some applications to vector variational inequalities and vector optimization problems are given as well.     

Order-Preserving Transformations and Applications

In this paper, we study the effects of a linear transformation on the partial order relations that are generated by a closed and convex cone in a finite-dimensional space. Sufficient conditions are provided for a transformation preserving a given order. They are applied to derive the relationship between the efficient set of a set and its image under a linear transformation, to characterize generalized convex vector functions by using order-preserving transformations, to establish some calculus rules for the subdifferential of a convex vector function, and develop an optimality condition for a convex vector problem.
