On the connectedness of the efficient set for strictly quasiconvex vector minimization problems

In this paper, we investigate the connectedness of the efficient solution set for vector minimization problems defined by a continuous vector-valued strictly quasiconvex functionf=(f ₁,...,f _m ) _T and a convex compact setX. It is shown that the efficient solution set is connected if one component off is strongly quasiconvex onX.The author would like to thank Professor H. P.
