Constraint qualifications in nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problem

Abstract

A multiobjective optimization problem (MOP) with inequality and equality constraints is considered where the objective and inequality constraint functions are locally Lipschitz and equality constraint functions are differentiable. Burachik and Rizvi [J. Optim. Theory Appl. 155, 477-491 (2012)] gave Guignard and generalized Abadie regularity conditions for a differentiable programming problem and derived Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) type necessary optimality conditions. In this paper, we have defined the nonsmooth versions of Guignard and generalized Abadie regularity conditions given by Burachik and Rizvi and obtained KKT necessary optimality conditions for efficient and weak efficient solutions of (MOP). Further several constraint qualifications sufficient for the above newly defined constraint qualifications are introduced for (MOP) with no equality constraints. Relationships between them are presented and examples are constructed to support the results.
