A class of scalarizations is studied in order to characterize weakly efficient, efficient and properly efficient points of a non convex vector problem.A parallelism is established between the different solutions of the scalarized problem and the various efficient frontiers.In particular,...

This paper is focused on approximate ( $$\varepsilon$$ -efficient) solutions of multiobjective mathematical programs. We introduce a new $$\varepsilon$$ -efficiency concept which extends and unifies different notions of approximate solution defined in the literature. We characterize these...

The aim of this paper is to characterize in terms of classical convexity and quasiconvexity of extended real-valued functions those set-valued maps which are K-convex or K-quasiconvex with respect to a convex cone K. In particular, we recover some known characterizations of K-convex and...

This paper compares dierent centralized collective models for maximizing the utility of a household from the point of view of the single members that compose it. We describe the collective maximization program as a vector optimization problem and analyze the household welfare and Pareto...

In multicriteria optimization, several objective functions have to be minimized simultaneously. For this kind of problem, approximations to the whole solution set are of particular importance to decision makers. Usually, approximating this set involves solving a family of parameterized...
