Scalarization in vector optimization

Mathematical Programming Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this paper some scalar optimization problems are presented whose optimal solutions are also solutions of a general vector optimization problem. This will be done for weakly minimal and minimal solutions, respectively. Finally the results will be applied to a certain class of approximation problems.
