Abstract

In this paper we study a set optimization problem (SOP), i. e. we minimize a set-valued objective map F, which takes values on a real linear space Y equipped with a pre-order induced by a convex cone K. We introduce new order relations on the power set P(Y) of Y (or on a subset of it), which are more suitable from a practical point of view than the often used minimizers in set optimization. Next, we propose a simple two-steps unifying approach to studying (SOP) w. r. t. various order relations. Firstly, we extend in a unified scheme some basic concepts of vector optimization, which are defined on the space Y up to an arbitrary nonempty pre-ordered set(Q) without any topological or linear structure. Namely, we define the following concepts w. r. t. the pre-order : minimal elements, semicompactness, completeness, domination property of a subset of Q, and semicontinuity of a set-valued map with values in Q in a topological setting. Secondly, we establish existence results for optimal solutions of (SOP), when F takes values on(Q) from which one can easily derive similar results for the case, when F takes values on P(Y) equipped with various order relations. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
