Optimality conditions in set optimization employing higher-order radial derivatives

Abstract

There are two approaches of defining the solutions of a set-valued optimization problem: vector criterion and set criterion. This note is devoted to higher-order optimality conditions using both criteria of solutions for a constrained set-valued optimization problem in terms of higher-order radial derivatives. In the case of vector criterion, some optimality conditions are derived for isolated (weak) minimizers. With set criterion, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are established for minimal solutions relative to lower set-order relation.
