In this paper, we introduce a notion of higher-order Studniarski epiderivative of a set-valued map and study its properties. Then, we discuss their applications to optimality conditions in set-valued optimization. Higher-order optimality conditions for strict and weak efficient solutions of a constrained set-valued optimization problem are established. Some remarks on the existing results in the literature are given from our results.
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.
