Well-posedness and stability of solutions for set optimization problems

In this paper, some characterizations for the generalized l-B-well-posedness and the generalized u-B-well-posedness of set optimization problems are given. Moreover, the Hausdorff upper semi-continuity of l-minimal solution mapping and u-minimal solution mapping are established by assuming that the set optimization problem is l-H-well-posed and u-H-well-posed, respectively. Finally, the upper semi-continuity and the lower semi-continuity of solution mappings to parametric set optimization problems are investigated under some suitable conditions.     

Stability of minimal solutions to parametric set optimization problems

In this paper we study the stability of the minimal solutions of set optimization problems. We provide sufficient conditions for the upper and lower semicontinuity and compactness of the minimal solutions of parametric set optimization problems whose objective values are not necessarily compact.     

Continuity of the efficient solution mapping for vector optimization problems

This paper aims at investigating the continuity of the efficient solution mapping of perturbed vector optimization problems. First, we introduce the concept of the level mapping. We give sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity and the lower semicontinuity of the level mapping. The upper semicontinuity and the lower semicontinuity of the efficient solution mapping are established by using the continuity properties of the level mapping. We establish a corollary about the lower semicontinuity of the minimal point set-valued mapping. Meanwhile, we give some examples to illustrate that the corollary is different from the ones in the literature.

On the lower semicontinuity of optimal solution sets

We study the lower semicontinuity of the optimal solution set of a parametric optimization problem. Our results sharpen the main results of Zhao (1997, The lower semicontinuity of optimal solution sets. Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 207, 240–254. Ref. ). Namely, it is shown that the conclusion of Theorem 1 of is still valid under weaker assumptions, and the conditions on “ε-nontriviality” and uniform continuity of the objective function in Theorems 2 and 3 of can be omitted.     

Characterizations of solution sets for parametric multiobjective optimization problems

In this article, we investigate the nonemptiness and compactness of the weak Pareto optimal solution set of a multiobjective optimization problem with functional constraints via asymptotic analysis. We then employ the obtained results to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions of the weak Pareto optimal solution set of a parametric multiobjective optimization problem. Our results improve and generalize some known results.

Characterizations of set order relations and constrained set optimization problems via oriented distance function

Set-valued optimization problems are important and fascinating field of optimization theory and widely applied to image processing, viability theory, optimal control and mathematical economics. There are two types of criteria of solutions for the set-valued optimization problems: the vector criterion and the set criterion. In this paper, we adopt the set criterion to study the optimality conditions of constrained set-valued optimization problems. We first present some characterizations of various set order relations using the classical oriented distance function without involving the nonempty interior assumption on the ordered cones. Then using the characterizations of set order relations, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for four types of optimal solutions of constrained set optimization problem with respect to the set order relations. Finally, the image space analysis is employed to study the c-optimal solution of constrained set optimization problems, and then optimality conditions and an alternative result for the constrained set optimization problem are established by the classical oriented distance function.     

On essential sets and essential components of efficient solutions for vector optimization problems

In this paper, we first introduce the notions of an essential set and an essential component of the set of efficient solutions for continuous vector optimizations on a nonempty compact subset of a metric space. Then we show that for each of these vector optimizations, each set of all efficient solutions corresponding to the same optimal values is essential. Basing on this result, we give full characterizations of an essential point, an essential set and an essential component, respectively. As an application, we prove that for continuous quasiconvex vector optimization problems on a nonempty compact subset of a metric vector space, each component of the set of efficient solutions is essential even though the efficient solution set is not connected.     

Positive solutions for three-point boundary value problems with a non-well-ordered upper and lower solution condition

An algorithm to solve polyhedral convex set optimization problems

An algorithm which computes a solution of a set optimization problem is provided. The graph of the objective map is assumed to be given by finitely many linear inequalities. A solution is understood to be a set of points in the domain satisfying two conditions: the attainment of the infimum and minimality with respect to a set relation. In the first phase of the algorithm, a linear vector optimization problem, called the vectorial relaxation, is solved. The resulting pre-solution yields the attainment of the infimum but, in general, not minimality. In the second phase of the algorithm, minimality is established by solving certain linear programs in combination with vertex enumeration of some values of the objective map.     

A new Pareto set generating method for multi-criteria optimization problems

This paper proposes a new classical method to capture the complete Pareto set of a multi-criteria optimization problem (MOP) even without having any prior information about the location of Pareto surface. The solutions obtained through the proposed method are globally Pareto optimal. Moreover, each and every global Pareto optimal point is within the attainable range. This paper also suggests a procedure to ensure the proper Pareto optimality of the outcomes if slight modifications are allowed in the constraint set of the MOP under consideration. Among the set of all outcomes, the proposed method can effectively detect the regions of unbounded trade-offs between the criteria, if they exist.

Convergence analysis of a nonlinear Lagrange algorithm for general nonlinear constrained optimization problems

The convergence analysis of a nonlinear Lagrange algorithm for solving nonlinear constrained optimization problems with both inequality and equality constraints is explored in detail. The estimates for the derivatives of the multiplier mapping and the solution mapping of the proposed algorithm are discussed via the technique of the singular value decomposition of matrix. Based on the estimates, the local convergence results and the rate of convergence of the algorithm are presented when the penalty parameter is less than a threshold under a set of suitable conditions on problem functions. Furthermore, the condition number of the Hessian of the nonlinear Lagrange function with respect to the decision variables is analyzed, which is closely related to efficiency of the algorithm. Finally, the preliminary numericM results for several typical test problems are reported.
