Abstract

This paper deals with the relations between vector variational inequality problems and nonsmooth vector optimization problems using the concept of quasi efficiency. We identify the vector critical points, the weak quasi efficient points and the solutions of the weak vector variational inequality problems under generalized approximate convexity assumptions. To the best of our knowledge such results have not been established till now.
