On sufficient second order optimality conditions in multiobjective optimization

A second order sufficient optimality criterion is presented for a multiobjective problem subject to a constraint given just as a set. To this aim, we first refine known necessary conditions in such a way that the sufficient ones differ by the replacement of inequalities by strict inequalities. Furthermore, we show that no relationship holds between this criterion and a sufficient multipliers rule, when the constraint is described by inequalities and equalities. Finally, improvements of this criterion for the unconstrained case are presented, stressing the differences with single-objective optimization
