Abstract

In this paper, we establish some results which exhibit an application for Michel–Penot subdifferential in nonsmooth vector optimization problems and vector variational-like inequalities. We formulate vector variational-like inequalities of Stampacchia and Minty type in terms of the Michel–Penot subdifferentials and use these variational-like inequalities as a tool to solve the vector optimization problem involving nonsmooth V-invex function. We also consider the corresponding weak versions of the vector variational-like inequalities and establish various results for the weak efficient solutions.
