Abstract

Abstract

The non-emptiness and boundedness of the solution sets of optimization problems play a crucial role in numerical algorithms. Based on asymptotic analysis, the non-emptiness and boundedness of the (proper) efficient solution sets for nonconvex multi-objective optimization problems under regularity conditions were obtained. Firstly, the inner and outer asymptotic estimations were established for the efficient solution sets and the properly efficient solution sets of nonconvex multi-objective optimization problems via asymptotic cones and asymptotic functions. Then, based on these estimates, the non-emptiness and boundedness of the efficient solution sets for nonconvex multi-objective optimization problems were characterized. Finally, some necessary conditions for the existence of efficient solutions to nonconvex multi-objective optimization problem were given.
- nonconvex multi-objective optimization,
- efficient solution,
- regularity,
- asymptotic cone,
- asymptotic function
