Higher-order optimality conditions for strict and weak efficient solutions in set-valued optimization

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a notion of higher-order Studniarski epiderivative of a set-valued map and study its properties. Then, we discuss their applications to optimality conditions in set-valued optimization. Higher-order optimality conditions for strict and weak efficient solutions of a constrained set-valued optimization problem are established. Some remarks on the existing results in the literature are given from our results.
