Second-Order Optimality Conditions for Set-Valued Vector Equilibrium Problems

In this article, by using the generalized second-order contingent (adjacent) epiderivatives of set-valued maps, we obtain necessary optimality conditions and sufficient optimality conditions for weakly efficient solutions, Henig efficient solutions to the set-valued vector equilibrium problems with constraints. Some results of this article improve the corresponding results in literatures by lessening the assumption of convexity.     

New Generalized Second-Order Contingent Epiderivatives and Set-Valued Optimization Problems

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a generalized second-order composed contingent epiderivative for set-valued maps and discuss its relationship to the generalized second-order contingent epiderivative. We also investigate some of its properties. Then, by virtue of the generalized second-order composed contingent epiderivative, we establish a unified second-order sufficient and necessary optimality condition for set-valued optimization problems, which is a generalization of the corresponding results in the literature.     

First and Second-Order Lagrange Claims for Set-Valued Maps

In this note, we derive first and second-order necessary (resp. sufficient) conditions for local minimum (resp. strict local minimum) points of optimization problems governed by set-valued maps. This allows us to present and to solve a generalized Lagrange claim in a multivalued setting.

Generalized Constraint Qualifications and Optimality Conditions for Set-Valued Optimization Problems

In this paper we discuss the connections of four generalized constraint qualifications for set-valued vector optimization problems with constraints. Then some K-T type necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are derived, in terms of the contingent epiderivatives.     

Mixed Type Duality for Set-valued Optimization Problems via Higher-order Radial Epiderivatives

In this article, we introduce a notion of higher-order radial epiderivative for set-valued maps and study its properties. A generalized concept of higher-order strict minimizers in set-valued optimization is proposed as well. By virtue of the radial epiderivative, we establish a mixed dual problem, and then weak, strong, and converse duality theorems are obtained in dealing with generalized strict minimizers.     

New Results on Second-Order Optimality Conditions in Vector Optimization Problems

In this paper, we study second-order optimality conditions for multiobjective optimization problems. By means of different second-order tangent sets, various new second-order necessary optimality conditions are obtained in both scalar and vector optimization. As special cases, we obtain several results found in the literature (see reference list). We present also second-order sufficient optimality conditions so that there is only a very small gap with the necessary optimality conditions. The authors thank Professor P.L. Yu and the referees for valuable comments and helpful suggestions.     

Generalized Higher-Order Optimality Conditions for Set-Valued Optimization under Henig Efficiency

In this paper, generalized mth-order contingent epiderivative and generalized mth-order epiderivative of set-valued maps are introduced, respectively. By virtue of the generalized mth-order epiderivatives, generalized necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are obtained for Henig efficient solutions to a set-valued optimization problem whose constraint set is determined by a fixed set. Generalized Kuhn–Tucker type necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are also obtained for Henig efficient solutions to a set-valued optimization problem whose constraint set is determined by a set-valued map.

Second-Order Optimality Conditions for Constrained Domain Optimization

This paper develops boundary integral representation formulas for the second variations of cost functionals for elliptic domain optimization problems. From the collection of all Lipschitz domains Ω which satisfy a constraint ∫ _Ω g(x) dx=1, a domain is sought which maximizes either , fixed x ₀∈Ω, or ℱ(Ω)=∫ _Ω F(x,u(x)) dx, where u solves the Dirichlet problem Δu(x)=−f(x), x∈Ω, u(x)=0, x∈∂Ω. Necessary and sufficient conditions for local optimality are presented in terms of the first and second variations of the cost functionals and ℱ. The second variations are computed with respect to domain variations which preserve the constraint. After first summarizing known facts about the first variations of u and the cost functionals, a series of formulas relating various second variations of these quantities are derived. Calculating the second variations depends on finding first variations of solutions u when the data f are permitted to depend on the domain Ω.     

Lagrangian Duality in Set-Valued Optimization

In this paper, we study optimization problems where the objective function and the binding constraints are set-valued maps and the solutions are defined by means of set-relations among all the images sets (Kuroiwa, D. in Takahashi, W., Tanaka, T. (eds.) Nonlinear analysis and convex analysis, pp. 221–228, 1999). We introduce a new dual problem, establish some duality theorems and obtain a Lagrangian multiplier rule of nonlinear type under convexity assumptions. A necessary condition and a sufficient condition for the existence of saddle points are given. The authors thank the two referees for valuable comments and suggestions on early versions of the paper.

Fuzzy and Exact Optimality Conditions for a Bilevel Set-Valued Problem via Extremal Principles

In this article, we are concerned with a sequence of two set valued optimization problems in which the feasible region of the first one (the upper-level problem) is determined implicitly by the solution set of the second (the lower-level problem). Since bilevel programming problems are in general nonconvex problems even if the problem data are convex, we use the exact extremal principle and the approximate extremal principle introduced by Mordukhovich [14 B.S. Mordukhovich ( 2001 ). The extremal principle and its applications to optimization and economics . In: Optimization and Related Topics ( A. Rubinov and B. Glover , eds.).

Some equivalent problems in set optimization

Given a set-valued optimization problem (P), there is more than one way of defining the solutions associated with it. Depending on the decision maker’s preference, we consider the vector criterion or the set criterion. Both criteria of solution are considered together to solve problem (P) by reducing the feasible set.     

Optimality Conditions in Differentiable Vector Optimization via Second-Order Tangent Sets

We provide second-order necessary and sufficient conditions for a point to be an efficient element of a set with respect to a cone in a normed space, so that there is only a small gap between necessary and sufficient conditions. To this aim, we use the common second-order tangent set and the asymptotic second-order cone utilized by Penot. As an application we establish second-order necessary conditions for a point to be a solution of a vector optimization problem with an arbitrary feasible set and a twice Fréchet differentiable objective function between two normed spaces. We also establish second-order sufficient conditions when the initial space is finite-dimensional so that there is no gap with necessary conditions. Lagrange multiplier rules are also given.

Conjugate Maps,Subgradients and Conjugate Duality in Set-Valued Optimization

Using the concept of supremum/infimum of a set, defined in terms of the closure of the set, we introduce the notions of conjugate and biconjugate maps as well as that of subgradients of a set-valued map. Conjugate duality results are also established for a set-valued optimization problem.

Near-Subconvexlikeness in Vector Optimization with Set-Valued Functions

A new class of generalized convex set-valued functions, termed nearly-subconvexlike functions, is introduced. This class is a generalization of cone-subconvexlike maps, nearly-convexlike set-valued functions, and preinvex set-valued functions. Properties for the nearly-subconvexlike functions are derived and a theorem of the alternative is proved. A Lagrangian multiplier theorem is established and two scalarization theorems are obtained for vector optimization.     

Optimality Conditions for Vector Equilibrium Problems in Terms of Contingent Epiderivatives

In this article, we study some important properties of contingent epiderivatives concerning steady functions and a cone with a compact base along with its applications to establish necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for weakly efficient, Henig efficient, globally efficient and superefficient solutions for no constraints and constraints (it concludes cone constraint, equality constraint and a constraint set) vector equilibrium problems in terms of contingent epiderivatives. We also give some examples to illustrate obtained results.
