Abstract:

Nonlinear scalarization is a very important method to deal with the vector optimization problems. In this paper, some conic nonlinear scalarization characterizations
of E-optimal points, weakly E-optimal points, and E-Benson properly efficient points proposed via improvement sets are established by a new scalarization function,
respectively. These results improved and generalized some previously known results.As a special case, the scalarization of Benson properly efficient points is also given. Some examples are given to illustrate the main results.
