In the first part, we provide elementary proofs for some important results in multi-objective optimization. The given proofs are so simple and short in compared to the existing ones. Also, a Pareto reducibility result is extended from efficiency to proper efficiency. The second part is devoted to the connections between nonemptiness, $R^p_{\\geqq}$-(semi)compactness, external stability and connectedness of the set of nondominated solutions in multi-objective optimization. Furthermore, it is shown that some assumption in an important result, concerning connectedness, is redundant and should be removed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-06-07T11:35:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "90B50" ], "keywords": [ "multi-objective optimization", "elementary proofs", "connectedness", "important result", "pareto reducibility result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150602253P" } } }
