Abstract

top
This paper studies the issue of well-posedness for vector optimization. It is shown that coercivity implies well-posedness without any convexity assumptions on problem data. For convex vector optimization problems, solution sets of such problems are non-convex in general, but they are highly structured. By exploring such structures carefully via convex analysis, we are able to obtain a number of positive results, including a criterion for well-posedness in terms of that of associated scalar problems. In particular we show that a well-known relative interiority condition can be used as a sufficient condition for well-posedness in convex vector optimization.
