“…Nowadays, these variational principles are a growing research line (see [1,4,6,10,14,15,19,20,21]) since they can be formulated as vector equilibrium problems, which encompass several really important problems, like vector optimization problems, vector variational inequalities and vector complementary problems (see [2,3,7,11,17] and the references therein). This work is motivated by the recent Ekeland variational principles in [15], where they are derived by considering the so-called Gerstewitz scalarization functional and a kind of proper approximate solutions of vector equilibrium problems. These solutions are just weak approximate solutions with respect to certain dilating cones.…”
