Abstract

Under generalized cone-subconvexlikeness for vector-valued mappings in locally-convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces, a Gordan-form alternative theorem is derived. Some characterizations of the Benson proper efficiency under this generalized convexity are established in terms of scalarization, Lagrangian multipliers, saddle-point criterion, and duality.
