Variants of the Ekeland variational principle for approximate proper solutions of vector equilibrium problems (Q2423811)

This paper deals with variants of the Ekeland variational principle (EVP) for the approximate proper solutions of a vector equilibrium problem, whose final space is finite dimensional and partially ordered by a polyhedral cone. The authors analyze the limit behaviour of the approximate proper solutions for vector equilibrium problems and provide a variant of the EVP for unconstrained vector equilibrium problems. The corresponding result for cone-constrained vector equilibrium problems is obtained and an Ekeland variational principle for a multiobjective optimization problem is derived as an application. Finally, the authors define and study a new approximate vector variational inequality problem, from which a sufficient condition for approximate proper solutions of the multiobjective optimization problem is obtained.
