Abstract
This article aims at studying a special class of constrained vector optimization problems in the setting of a variable ordering structure, having a geometric constraint and finitely many generalized functional constraints. Based on a version of the extended extremal principle, some necessary optimality conditions for a minimal solution of the proposed problem are derived in terms of coderivatives and normal cones.
