Explicitly quasiconvex set-valued optimization (Q2460113)

The paper begins with some general definitions and preliminary results concerning cone-convex and cone-quasiconvex set-valued maps with values in a real linear space, partially ordered by a relatively solid convex cone. Then, the author introduces the notion of explicitly cone-quasiconvex set-valued map. Characterization of this notions and the relationship between this notion and the usual notions of cone-convexity and cone-quasiconvexity are studied. Finally, by restricting the attention on set-valued maps with values in a finite dimensional Euclidean space, partially ordered by the standard ordering cone, the paper derives from the main result sufficient conditions for the Pareto reducibility, as well as for the contractibility of the efficient outcome set.
