In this paper, some solution relationships between set-valued optimization problems and vector variational-like inequalities are established under generalized invexities. In addition, a generalized Lagrange multiplier rule for a constrained set-valued optimization problem is obtained under C-preinvexity.     

Generalized vector variational-like inequalities and nonsmooth vector optimization problems

In this article, we establish some relationships between a solution of generalized vector variational-like inequalities and an efficient solution or a weakly efficient solution to the nonsmooth vector optimization problem under the assumptions of pseudoinvexity or invariant pseudomonotonicity. Our results extend and improve the corresponding results in the literature.     

Vector variational-like inequalities and non-smooth vector optimization problems

In this paper, we establish relationships between vector variational-like inequality problems and non-smooth vector optimization problems under non-smooth invexity. We identify the vector critical points, the weakly efficient points and the solutions of the non-smooth weak vector variational-like inequality problems, under non-smooth pseudo-invexity assumptions. These conditions are more general than those existing in the literature.     

Using KKM technique in set-valued optimization problems and variational-like inequalities

KKM technique has proved a very useful tool in many areas of analysis. This paper aims to use this technique to give some necessary and sufficient conditions for set-valued optimization problems. We also use the KKM technique to introduce sufficient conditions for solution existence of some kinds of variational-like inequalities and thereby setvalued optimization problems.     

Generalized vector variational-like inequalities and vector optimization

In this paper, we consider different kinds of generalized vector variational-like inequality problems and a vector optimization problem. We establish some relationships between the solutions of generalized Minty vector variational-like inequality problem and an efficient solution of a vector optimization problem. We define a perturbed generalized Stampacchia vector variational-like inequality problem and discuss its relation with generalized weak Minty vector variational-like inequality problem. We establish some existence results for solutions of our generalized vector variational-like inequality problems.     

Vector variational-like inequalities and vector optimization problems in Asplund spaces

In this paper, the Minty vector variational-like inequality, the Stampacchia vector variational-like inequality, and the weak formulations of these two inequalities defined by means of Mordukhovich limiting subdifferentials are introduced and studied in Asplund spaces. Some relations between the vector variational-like inequalities and vector optimization problems are established by using the properties of Mordukhovich limiting subdifferentials. An existence theorem of solutions for the weak Minty vector variational-like inequality is also given.

Exponential type vector variational-like inequalities and vector optimization problems with exponential type invexities

A new class of exponential form of vector variational-like inequality problems is introduced, and then the equivalence among (weakly) efficient solutions, vector critical points of vector optimization problem and the solutions of vector variational-like inequalities under the framework of (p,r)-invexity is established. To the best our knowledge, the presented results are new and highly application oriented to other results based on generalized invexities to the context of optimization problems in the literature.

Nonsmooth variational-like inequalities and nonsmooth vector optimization

In this paper, we consider nonsmooth vector variational-like inequalities and nonsmooth vector optimization problems. By using the scalarization method, we define nonsmooth variational-like inequalities by means of Clarke generalized directional derivative and study their relations with the vector optimizations and the scalarized optimization problems. Some existence results for solutions of our nonsmooth variational-like inequalities are presented under densely pseudomonotonicity or pseudomonotonicity assumption.     

Existence results for generalized nonlinear vector variational-like inequalities with set-valued mapping

In this paper, we introduce and study a class of generalized nonlinear vector variational-like inequality problems, which includes generalized nonlinear vector variational inequality problems, generalized vector variational inequality problems and generalized vector variational-like inequality problems and so on. Applying maximal element theorem, we prove the existence of its solutions in the setting of locally convex topological vector space.

Scalarization of set-valued optimization problems and variational inequalities in topological vector spaces

This paper deals with set-valued vector optimization problems and set-valued vector variational inequalities in topological vector spaces, and provides some scalarization approaches for these problems by means of the polar cone and Gerstewitz’s scalarization functions.     

On vector variational-like inequality problems

In this paper, we establish some relationships between vector variational-like inequality and vector optimization problems under the assumptions of α-invex functions. We identify the vector critical points, the weakly efficient points and the solutions of the weak vector variational-like inequality problems, under pseudo-α-invexity assumptions. These conditions are more general than those of existing ones in the literature. In particular, this work extends the earlier work of Ruiz-Garzon et al. [G. Ruiz-Garzon, R. Osuna-Gomez, A. Rufian-Lizan, Relationships between vector variational-like inequality and optimization problems, European J. Oper. Res. 157 (2004) 113-119] to a wider class of functions, namely the pseudo-α-invex functions studied in a recent work of Noor [M.A. Noor, On generalized preinvex functions and monotonicities, J. Inequal. Pure Appl. Math. 5 (2004) 1-9].

On vector optimization problems and vector variational inequalities using convexificators

In this paper, we establish some results which exhibit an application of convexificators in vector optimization problems (VOPs) and vector variational inequaities involving locally Lipschitz functions. We formulate vector variational inequalities of Stampacchia and Minty type in terms of convexificators and use these vector variational inequalities as a tool to find out necessary and sufficient conditions for a point to be a vector minimal point of the VOP. We also consider the corresponding weak versions of the vector variational inequalities and establish several results to find out weak vector minimal points.
