Weak efficiency for multiobjective variational problems

Abstract Sometimes, to locate efficient solutions for multiobjective variational problems (MVPs) is quite costly, so in this paper we tackle the study of weakly efficient solutions for MVPs. A new concept of weak vector critical point which generalizes other ones already existent, and a new class of pseudoinvex functions are introduced. We will apply a new approach to prove that the new class of pseudoinvex functions is equivalent to the class of functions whose weak vector critical points are weakly efficient solution for MVPs.
