Abstract

In this paper, we consider a notion of global well-setness for a set optimization problem using the excess function. We give sufficient conditions for well-setness and establish Dontchev–Zolezzi type measure for well-setness. Moreover, we relate this notion with well-setness notion for a scalar problem obtained by using generalized Gerstewitz’s function.
