Second-order optimality conditions with the envelope-like effect for nonsmooth vector optimization in infinite dimensions

Abstract

Second-order necessary conditions and sufficient conditions with the envelope-like effect for optimality in nonsmooth vector optimization are established. We use approximations as generalized derivatives, imposing strict differentiability for necessary conditions and differentiability for sufficient conditions and avoiding continuous differentiability. Convexity conditions are not imposed explicitly. The results make it clear when the envelope-like effect occurs and improve or include several recent existing ones. Examples are provided to show advantages of our theorems over some known ones in the literature.
