Contractibility and connectedness of efficient point sets (Q1573996)

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the topological properties of efficient point sets for vector optimization. The author proves a weak contractibility result for an efficient point set in a locally convex space and a contractibility result for an efficient point set in a locally uniformly convex formed space. In the last part he gives a path connectedness result for a positive proper efficient point set and a connectedness result for an efficient point set for a weak upper-semicontinuous set valued map with weakly compact values in a locally convex space.
