Approximate Proper Efficiency in Vector Optimization via Benson's Approach

Optimization and Control 2023-12-05 v1

Abstract

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 ee-properly efficient solution, where ee is any nonzero vector taken from the closed pointed convex ordering cone. For an arbitrary linear vector optimization problem, we show that either the ee-properly efficient solution set is empty or it coincides with the ee-efficient solution set. This new result has no analogue in the literature.
