Necessary and sufficient conditions for achieving global optimal solutions in multiobjective quadratic fractional optimization problems (Q2423805)

The authors consider the problem \( u(x) = (u_1(x), \dots, u_m(x)) ~\rightarrow~ \min\) subject to \(h_j(x) \leq 0\), \(j \in J\), \(x \in \Omega\), where \(\Omega \subseteq \mathbb R^n\) is an open set, \(u_i = f_i/g_i,~ i = 1, \dots, m \), \(f_i(x),~g_i(x)\) are quadratic functions of \(n\) real variables, \(g_i(x)>0\) for all \(x \in \Omega\) and \(h_j\) are real-valued functions defined on \(\Omega\). The problem is called a multiobjective quadratic fractional optimization problem (MQFP). Properties of local and global Pareto optimal solutions of MQFP are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a local Pareto optimal solution to be a global Pareto optimal solution are established. Perspectives of further research are outlined in the conclusion.
