On Pareto dominance in decomposably antichain-convex sets

Abstract: This paper shows that---under suitable conditions on a cone

C

---any element in the convex hull of a decomposably

C

-antichain-convex set

Y

is

C

-Pareto dominated by some element of

Y

. Building on this, the paper proves the disjointness of the convex hulls of two disjoint decomposably

C

-antichain-convex sets whenever one of latter is

C

-upward. These findings are used to obtain several consequences on the structure of the

C

-Pareto optima of decomposably

C

-antichain-convex sets, on the separation of decomposably

C

-antichain-convex sets and on the convexity of the set of maximals of

C

-antichain-convex relations and of the set of maximizers of

C

-antichain-quasiconcave functions. Special emphasis is placed on the invariance of the solution set of a problem after its "convexification".
