It is shown that the existence of gH-Hadamard derivative implies the existence of gH-Frechet derivative and vise-versa. Further, it is proved that the existence of gH-Hadamard derivative implies the existence of gH-continuity of IVFs. We found that the composition of a Hadamard differentiable real-valued function and a gH-Hadamard differentiable IVF is gHHadamard differentiable. Further, for finite comparable IVF, we prove that the gH-Hadamard derivative of the maximum of all finite comparable IVFs is the maximum of their gH-Hadamard derivative. The proposed derivative is observed to be useful to check the convexity of an IVF and to characterize efficient points of an optimization problem with IVF. For a convex IVF, we prove that if at a point the gH-Hadamard derivative does not dominate to zero, then the point is an efficient point. Further, it is proved that at an efficient point, the gH-Hadamard derivative does not dominate zero and also contains zero. For constraint IOPs, we prove an extended Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition by using the proposed derivative. The entire study is supported by suitable examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-04T04:28:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26A24", "90C30", "65K05" ], "keywords": [ "generalized hukuhara hadamard derivative", "interval-valued functions", "efficient point", "finite comparable ivf", "gh-hadamard derivative implies" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
