⎯In this paper, we construct a pair of Mond-Weir type second order symmetric dual problems, in which the objective function contains support function and is, therefore, nondifferentiable. For this pair of problems, we validate weak, strong and converse duality theorems under pseudobonvexity – pseudoboncavity assumption on the kernel function that appears in the problems. A second order self dua...

Fritz John and Kuhn-Tucker type necessary optimality conditions for a Pareto optimal (efficient) solution of a multiobjective control problem are obtained by first reducing the multiobjective control problem to a system of single objective control problems, and then using already established optimality conditions. As an application of Kuhn-Tucker type optimality conditions, Wolfe and Mond-Weir ...

In this paper, Antczak’s -approximation approach is used to prove the equivalence between optima of multiobjective programming problems and the -saddle points of the associated -approximated vector optimisation problems. We introduce an -Lagrange function for a constructed -approximated vector optimisation problem and present some modified -saddle point results. Furthermore, we construct an -ap...

We present a platform for parallelized manipulations of individual polarizable micron-scale particles (i.e., microparticles) that combines negative dielectrophoretic forcing with the passive capture of hydrodynamic weir-based trapping. Our work enables manipulations using ejection- andor exclusion-based methods. In ejection operations, we unload targeted weirs by displacing microparticles from ...

Considering a general vector optimization problem, we attach to it two new vector duals by means of perturbation theory. These vector duals are constructed with the help of the recent Wolfe and Mond-Weir scalar duals for general optimization problems proposed by R.I. Boţ and S.-M. Grad, by exploiting an idea due to W. Breckner and I. Kolumbán. Constrained and unconstrained vector optimization p...

The author is engaged, entertaining, and never judgemental. At times, though, scholarly objectivity must have been a challenge for her — for example, when folk remedies call for acts of immense cruelty towards innocent amphibians (like the tongue removal above), or when fables advocate socially unpalatable attitudes (a frustrated male viper lauded for having sex with lampreys). I would have bee...
