We provide general formulation of weak identification in semiparametric models and an efficiency concept. Weak identification occurs when a parameter is weakly regular, i.e., when it is locally homogeneous of degree zero. When this happens,…
Much of statistics relies upon four key elements: a law of large numbers, a calculus to operationalize stochastic convergence, a central limit theorem, and a framework for constructing local approximations. These elements are…
This paper is concerned with the value function approach to multiobjective bilevel optimization which exploits a lower level frontier-type mapping in order to replace the hierarchical model of two interdependent multiobjective optimization…
Langrange duality theorems for vector and set optimization problems which are based on an consequent usage of infimum and supremum (in the sense greatest lower and least upper bounds with respect to a partial ordering) have been recently…
In multi-objective optimization, a single decision vector must balance the trade-offs between many objectives. Solutions achieving an optimal trade-off are said to be Pareto optimal: these are decision vectors for which improving any one…
A new directional derivative and a new subdifferential for set-valued convex functions are constructed, and a set-valued version of the so-called 'max-formula' is proven. The new concepts are used to characterize solutions of convex…
This paper is devoted to a systematic study and characterizations of the fundamental notions of variational and strong variational convexity for lower semicontinuous functions. While these notions have been quite recently introduced by…
Pairwise comparison matrices are frequently applied in multi-criteria decision making. A weight vector is called efficient if no other weight vector is at least as good in approximating the elements of the pairwise comparison matrix, and…

In this paper we consider well-posedness properties of vector optimization problems with objective function $f: X \to Y$ where $X$ and $Y$ are Banach spaces and $Y$ is partially ordered by a closed convex pointed cone with nonempty…
Functions with uniform sublevel sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…
We study the optimization problem over the weakly Pareto set of a convex multiobjective optimization problem given by polynomial functions. Using Lagrange multiplier expressions and the weight vector, we give three types of representations…
This paper defines weak-$\alpha$-supermodularity for set functions. Many optimization objectives in machine learning and data mining seek to minimize such functions under cardinality constrains. We prove that such problems benefit from a…
Implicit variables of an optimization problem are used to model variationally challenging feasibility conditions in a tractable way while not entering the objective function. Hence, it is a standard approach to treat implicit variables as…
Scalarization in vector optimization is essentially based on the minimization of Gerstewitz functionals. In this paper, the minimizer sets of Gerstewitz functionals are investigated. Conditions are given under which such a set is nonempty…
In this paper, we discuss scalar Lagrangian multipliers and vector Lagrangian multipliers for constrained set-valued optimization problems. We obtain some necessary conditions, sufficient conditions, as well as necessary and sufficient…

The paper is devoted to the study, characterizations, and applications of variational convexity of functions, the property that has been recently introduced by Rockafellar together with its strong counterpart. First we show that these…
This paper describes valuation-based systems for representing and solving discrete optimization problems. In valuation-based systems, we represent information in an optimization problem using variables, sample spaces of variables, a set of…
To a function with values in the power set of a pre-ordered, separated locally convex space a family of scalarizations is given which completely characterizes the original function. A concept of a Legendre-Fenchel conjugate for set-valued…
