Higher-Order Weakly Generalized Adjacent Epiderivatives and Applications to Duality of Set-Valued Optimization

Abstract

A new notion of higher-order weakly generalized adjacent epiderivative for a set-valued map is introduced. By virtue of the epiderivative and weak minimality, a higher-order Mond-Weir type dual problem and a higher-order Wolfe type dual problem are introduced for a constrained set-valued optimization problem, respectively. Then, corresponding weak duality, strong duality, and converse duality theorems are established.
