SECOND-ORDER OPTIMALITY CONDITIONS IN SET-VALUED OPTIMIZATION BY A NEW TANGENTIAL DERIVATIVE

G. ISAC, A. A. KHAN

Abstract

This paper gives new second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in set-valued optimization. We define second-order tangential derivative/epiderivative of set-valued maps by taking contingent derivative of the first-order contingent derivative. The resulting derivatives/epiderivatives have strikingly simple structure and nice properties. The proposed derivatives are then employed to give new second-order optimality conditions for weakminimality in set-valued optimization.
