Approximate proper efficiency for multiobjective optimization problems

This paper is devoted to the study of a new kind of approximate proper efficiency in terms of proximal normal cone and co-radiant set for multiobjective optimization problem. We derive some properties of the new approximate proper efficiency and discuss the relations with the existing approximate concepts, such as approximate efficiency and approximate Benson proper efficiency. At last, we study the linear scalarizations for the new approximate proper efficiency under the generalized convexity assumption and give some examples to illustrate the main results.

Calculus Rules forV-Proximal Subdifferentials in Smooth Banach Spaces

In 2010, Bounkhel et al. introduced new proximal concepts (analytic proximal subdifferential, geometric proximal subdifferential, and proximal normal cone) in reflexive smooth Banach spaces. They proved, inp-uniformly convex andq-uniformly smooth Banach spaces, the density theorem for the new concepts of proximal subdifferential and various important properties for both proximal subdifferential concepts and the proximal normal cone concept. In this paper, we establish calculus rules (fuzzy sum rule and chain rule) for both proximal subdifferentials and we prove the Bishop-Phelps theorem for the proximal normal cone. The limiting concept for both proximal subdifferentials and for the proximal normal cone is defined and studied. We prove that both limiting constructions coincide with the Mordukhovich constructions under some assumptions on the space. Applications to nonconvex minimisation problems and nonconvex variational inequalities are established.
