By a scalarization method and properties of semi-algebraic sets, it is proved that both the Pareto solution set and the weak Pareto solution set of a vector variational inequality, where the constraint set is polyhedral convex and the basic operators are given by polynomial functions, have finitely many connected components. Consequences of the results for vector optimization problems are discussed in details. The results of this paper solve in the affirmative some open questions for the case of general problems without requiring monotonicity of the operators involved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, without using any regularity assumptions, we derive a new exact formula for computing the Fréchet coderivative and an exact formula for the Mordukhovich coderivative of normal cone mappings to perturbed polyhedral convex sets. Our development establishes generalizations and complements of the existing results on the topic. An example to illustrate formulae is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an exact formula for computing the normal cones of the constraint set mapping including the Clarke normal cone and the Mordukhovich normal cone in infinite programming under the extended Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification condition. Then, we derive an upper estimate as well as an exact formula for the limiting subdifferential of the marginal/optimal value function in a general Banach space setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the generalized Clarke epiderivative of the extremum (or efficient point) multifunction in parametric vector optimization problems. The formulas for computing and/or estimating the generalized Clarke epiderivative of this extremum multifunction are given in terms of the Clarke tangent cone to the graph of a multifunction or the constraint mapping and/or the Fréchet derivative of the objective function. An application to semi-infinite programming is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

By means of generalized KKM theory, we prove a result on the existence of solutions and we establish general variational principles, that is, vector optimization formulations of set-valued maps for vector generalized systems. A perturbation function is involved in general variational principles. We extend the theory of gap functions for vector variational inequalities to vector generalized systems and we prove that the solution sets of the related vector optimization problems of set-valued maps contain the solution sets of vector generalized systems. A further vector optimization problem is defined in such a way that its solution set coincides with the solution set of a weak vector generalized system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The auxiliary principle technique is extended to study the generalized strongly nonlinear mixed variational-like inequality problem for set-valued mappings without compact values. We establish first the existence of a solution of the related auxiliary problem. Then, the iterative algorithm for solving that problem is given by using this existence result. Moreover, the existence of a solution of the original problem and the convergence of iterative sequences generated by the algorithm are both derived. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
