We consider a generalization of standard vector optimization which is called vector optimization with variable ordering structures. The problem class under consideration is characterized by a point-dependent proper cone-valued mapping: here, the concept of K-convexity of the incorporated mapping plays an important role. We present and discuss several properties of this class such as the cone of separations and the minimal variable K-convexification. The latter one refers to a general approach for generating a variable ordering mapping for which a given mapping is K-convex. Finally, this approach is applied to a particular case.
In this paper we consider the class of mathematical programs with complementarity constraints (MPCC). Under an appropriate constraint qualification of Mangasarian-Fromovitz type we present a topological and an equivalent algebraic characterization of a strongly stable C-stationary point for MPCC. Strong stability refers to the local uniqueness, existence and continuous dependence of a solution for each sufficiently small perturbed problem where perturbations up to second order are allowed. This concept of strong stability was originally introduced by Kojima for standard nonlinear optimization; here, its generalization to MPCC demands a sophisticated technique which takes the disjunctive properties of the solution set of MPCC into account.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
