Abstract
The implication of concavity in economics have suggested in the scalar case several kinds of generalization starting from the pioneering work of Arrow-Enthoven (1961).
The aim of this paper is to point out the role played by generalized concavity and by the tangent cone to the feasible region at a point, in stating several necessary and/or sufficient optimality conditions for a vector and scalar optimization problem.
Furthermore, in deriving F.John optimality conditions, the role of separations theorems is analyzed in order to suggest suitable formulations of Kuhn-Tucker conditions and a way for studying regularity conditions.
