A note on approximate Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions in locally Lipschitz multiobjective optimization

Abstract

In the recent paper of Giorgi et al. (J Optim Theory Appl 171:70–89, 2016), the authors introduced the so-called approximate Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (AKKT) condition for smooth multiobjective optimization problems and obtained some AKKT-type necessary optimality conditions and sufficient optimality conditions for weak efficient solutions of such a problem. In this note, we extend these optimality conditions to locally Lipschitz multiobjective optimization problems using Mordukhovich subdifferentials. Furthermore, we prove that, under some suitable additional conditions, an AKKT condition is also a KKT one.
