On Higher-Order Sensitivity Analysis in Nonsmooth Vector Optimization

Abstract

We propose the notion of higher-order radial-contingent derivative of a set-valued map, develop some calculus rules and use them directly to obtain optimality conditions for several particular optimization problems. Then we employ this derivative together with contingent-type derivatives to analyze sensitivity for nonsmooth vector optimization. Properties of higher-order contingent-type derivatives of the perturbation and weak perturbation maps of a parameterized optimization problem are obtained.
