Approximate Proper Efficiency in Vector Optimization via Benson's Approach (continued from last week's talk)

Tóm tắt: We present two criteria for checking approximate proper efficiency in vector optimization problems with the ordering cone being a nonnegative orthant. Although the criteria can be established by Benson's approach [H.P. Benson, textit{An improved definition of proper efficiency for vector maximization with respect to cones}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. textbf{71} (1979), 232--241], detailed proofs are given for the first time here. The two criteria are strong motivations to introduce the concept of $e$-properly efficient solution, where $e$ is any nonzero vector taken from the closed pointed convex ordering cone. For an arbitrary linear vector optimization problem, we show that either the $e$-properly efficient solution set is empty or it coincides with the $e$-efficient solution set. This new result has no analogue in the literature.
