Connectedness of Solution Sets for Weak Generalized Symmetric Ky Fan Inequality Problems via Addition-Invariant Sets

In this paper, the connectedness and path-connectedness of solution sets for weak generalized symmetric Ky Fan inequality problems with respect to addition-invariant set are studied. A class of weak generalized symmetric Ky Fan inequality problems via addition-invariant set is proposed. By using a nonconvex separation theorem, the equivalence between the solutions set for the symmetric Ky Fan inequality problem and the union of solution sets for scalarized problems is obtained. Then, we establish the upper and lower semicontinuity of solution mappings for scalarized problem. Finally, the connectedness and path-connectedness of solution sets for symmetric Ky Fan inequality problems are obtained. Our results are new and extend the corresponding ones in the studies.

The stability of the solution sets for set optimization problems via improvement sets

ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to investigate the stability of the solution sets for set optimization problems via improvement sets. Firstly, we consider the relations among the solution sets for optimization problem with set optimization criterion. Then, the closeness and the convexity of solution sets are discussed. Furthermore, the upper semi-continuity, Hausdorff upper semi-continuity and lower semi-continuity of solution mappings to parametric set optimization problems via improvement sets are established under some suitable conditions. These results extend and develop some recent works in this field.

Stability analysis for generalized semi-infinite optimization problems under functional perturbations

The concepts of essential solutions and essential solution sets for generalized semi-infinite optimization problems (GSIO for brevity) are introduced under functional perturbations, and the relations among the concepts of essential solutions, essential solution sets and lower semicontinuity of solution mappings are discussed. We show that a solution is essential if and only if the solution is unique; and a solution subset is essential if and only if it is the solution set itself. Some sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity of solution mappings are obtained. Finally, we show that every GSIO problem can be arbitrarily approximated by stable GSIO problems (the solution mapping is continuous), i.e., the set of all stable GSIO problems is dense in the set of all GSIO problems with the given topology.

Lower semicontinuity of solution mappings for parametric fixed point problems with applications

In this paper, we establish the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping and the approximate solution mapping for parametric fixed point problems under some suitable conditions. As applications, the lower semicontinuity result applies to the parametric vector quasi-equilibrium problem, and allows to prove the existence of solutions for generalized Stackelberg games.

Well-posedness and stability of solutions for set optimization problems

In this paper, some characterizations for the generalized l-B-well-posedness and the generalized u-B-well-posedness of set optimization problems are given. Moreover, the Hausdorff upper semi-continuity of l-minimal solution mapping and u-minimal solution mapping are established by assuming that the set optimization problem is l-H-well-posed and u-H-well-posed, respectively. Finally, the upper semi-continuity and the lower semi-continuity of solution mappings to parametric set optimization problems are investigated under some suitable conditions.

Semicontinuity and closedness of parametric generalized lexicographic quasiequilibrium problems

This paper is mainly concerned with the upper semicontinuity, closedness, and the lower semicontinuity of the set-valued solution mapping for a parametric lexicographic equilibrium problem where both two constraint maps and the objective bifunction depend on both the decision variable and the parameters. The sufficient conditions for the upper semicontinuity, closedness, and the lower semicontinuity of the solution map are established. Many examples are provided to ensure the essentialness of the imposed assumptions.

Stability of solution mapping for parametric symmetric vector equilibrium problems

This paper is concerned with the stability for a parametric symmetric vector equilibrium problem. A parametric gap function for the parametric symmetric vector equilibrium problem is introduced and investigated. By virtue of this function, we establish the sufficient and necessary conditions for the Hausdorff lower semicontinuity of solution mapping to a parametric symmetric vector equilibrium problem. The results presented in this paper generalize and improve the corresponding results in the recent literature.

Lower semicontinuity of solution mapping to parametric generalized strong vector equilibrium problems

Abstract In this paper, the lower semicontinuity of solution mapping to parametric generalized strong vector equilibrium problems without the assumptions of monotonicity and compactness is established by using a new proof method which is different from the ones used in the literature.

Continuity of the solution mappings to parametric generalized strong vector equilibrium problems

In this paper, we establish the upper semicontinuity and lower semicontinuity of solution mappings to a parametric generalized strong vector equilibrium problem with setvalued mappings by using a scalarization method and a density result. The results improve the corresponding ones in the literature. Some examples are given to illustrate our results.

On the lower semicontinuity of the solution mappings to a parametric generalized strong vector equilibrium problem

In this paper, under new assumptions, which do not contain any information about the solution set, the lower semicontinuity of solution mappings to a parametric generalized strong vector equilibrium problem are established by using a scalarization method. These results extend and generalize the corresponding ones in Gong and Yao (J Optim Theory Appl 138:197–205, 2008), Chen and Li (Pac J Optim 6:141–151, 2010) and Li et al. (2012, submitted). Some examples are given to illustrate our results.

New nonlinear scalarization functions and applications

In this paper, new nonlinear scalarization functions, which are different from the Gerstewitz function, are introduced. Some properties of these functions are discussed, and are used to prove new results on the existence of solutions of generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems with moving cones and the lower semicontinuity of solution mappings of parametric vector quasi-equilibrium problems. Detailed comparisons between our results and those obtained by using the Gerstewitz function (for existence theorems) and by other approaches (for the case of solution stability) are given. Illustrating examples are provided.
