Quasimin and quasisaddlepoint for vector optimization

For a constrained multicriteria optimization problem with differentiable functions, but not assuming any convexity, vector analogs of quasimin, Kuhn-Tucker point, and (suitably defined) vector quasisaddlepoint are shown to be equivalent. A constraint qualification is assumed. Similarly, a proper (by Geoffrion's definition) weak minimum is equivalent to a Kuhn–Tucker point with a strictly positive multiplier for the objective, and also to a vector quasisaddlepoint with an attached stability property. Under generalized invex hypotheses, these properties reduce to proper minimum and stable saddlepoint. Various known results are thus unified.
