In this paper, we are concerned with a set-valued fractional extremal programming problem under inclusion constraints. Our approach consists of using the extremal principle (an approach initiated by Mordukhovich, which does not involve any convex approximations and convex separation arguments)...

In this paper, we propose the concept of a second-order composed contingent derivative for set-valued maps, discuss its relationship to the second-order contingent derivative and investigate some of its special properties. By virtue of the second-order composed contingent derivative, we extend...

There has been much research on network flows over time due to their important role in real world applications. This has led to many results, but the more challenging continuous time model still lacks some of the key concepts and techniques that are the cornerstones of static network flows. The...

This paper provides evidence for the size of firing costs for eight countries. In contrast to the existing literature, we use the optimality conditions obtained in a search and matching model to find a reduced form equation for firing costs. We find that our estimates are slightly larger...

This work considers nonsmooth optimal control problems and provides two new sufficient conditions of optimality. The first condition involves the Lagrange multipliers while the second does not. We show that under the first new condition all processes satisfying the Pontryagin Maximum Principle...

We consider various kinds of solutions to nonsmooth vector equilibrium problems with functional constraints. By using first and second-order approximations as generalized derivatives, we establish both necessary and sufficient optimality conditions. Our first-order conditions are shown to be...

In this paper we consider vector optimization problems where objective and constraints are set-valued maps. Optimality conditions in terms of Lagrange-multipliers for an ɛ-weak Pareto minimal point are established in the general case and in the case with nearly subconvexlike data. A comparison...
