Stationary Condition for Borwein Proper Efficient Solutions of Nonsmooth Multiobjective Problems with Vanishing Constraints

Abstract

This paper discusses optimality conditions for Borwein proper efficient solutions of nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problems with vanishing constraints. A new notion in terms of contingent cone and upper directional derivative is introduced, and a necessary condition for the Borwein proper efficient solution of the considered problem is derived. The concept of ε proper Abadie data qualification is also introduced, and a necessary condition which is called a strictly strong stationary condition for Borwein proper efficient solutions is obtained. In view of the strictly strong stationary condition, convexity of the objective functions, and quasi-convexity of constrained functions, sufficient conditions for the Borwein proper efficient solutions are presented. Some examples are given to illustrate the reasonability of the obtained results.
