Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate that non-convex multiobjective optimization problems have nonempty and compact weakly efficient solution sets if and only if finite scalar optimization problems have nonempty and compact solution sets under mild conditions, which partially reduces the gap between non-convex and convex multiobjective problems in characterizing the nonemptiness and compactness of weakly efficient solution sets. Two examples are provided to support the findings.
期刊介绍:
Operations Research Letters is committed to the rapid review and fast publication of short articles on all aspects of operations research and analytics. Apart from a limitation to eight journal pages, quality, originality, relevance and clarity are the only criteria for selecting the papers to be published. ORL covers the broad field of optimization, stochastic models and game theory. Specific areas of interest include networks, routing, location, queueing, scheduling, inventory, reliability, and financial engineering. We wish to explore interfaces with other fields such as life sciences and health care, artificial intelligence and machine learning, energy distribution, and computational social sciences and humanities. Our traditional strength is in methodology, including theory, modelling, algorithms and computational studies. We also welcome novel applications and concise literature reviews.
