Second-order sequence-based necessary optimality conditions in constrained nonsmooth vector optimization and applications

Several notions of sequential directional derivatives and sequential local approximations are introduced. Under (first-order) Hadamard differentiability assumptions of the data at the point of study, these concepts are utilized to analyze second-order necessary optimality conditions, which rely on given sequences, for local weak solutions in nonsmooth vector optimization problems with constraints. Some applications to minimax programming problems are also derived.
