Optimality and duality for a class of nonsmooth fractional multiobjective optimization problems (Nonlinear Analysis and Convex Analysis)

Abstract

In this paper, we establish necessary optimality conditions for (weakly) efficient solutions of a nonsmooth fractional multiobjective optimization problem with inequality and equality constraints by employing some advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation. Sufficient optimality conditions for such solutions to the considered problem are also provided by means of introducing (strictly) convex-affine functions. Along with optimality conditions, we formulate a dual problem to the primal one and explore weak, strong and converse duality relations between them under assumptions of (strictly) convex-affine functions.
