Proper efficiency and duality for vector valued optimization problems

The duality results of Wolfe for scalar convex programming problems and some of the more recent duality results for scalar nonconvex programming problems are extended to vector valued programs. Weak duality is established using a 'Pareto' type relation between the primal and dual objective functions. 1980 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc): primary 90 C 31; secondary 90 C 30.
