Abstract

This chapter provides a brief survey on different kinds of set order relations which are used to compare the objective values of set-valued maps and play a key role to study set optimization problems. The solution concepts of set optimization problems and their relationships with respect to different kinds of set order relations are provided. The nonlinear scalarization functions for vector-valued maps as well as for set-valued maps are very useful to study the optimality solutions of vector optimization/set optimization problems. A survey of such nonlinear scalarization functions for vector-valued maps/set-valued maps is given. We give some new results on the existence of optimal solutions of set optimization problems. In the end, we gather some recent results, namely, Ekeland’s variational principle and some equivalent variational principle for set-valued maps with respect to different kinds of set order relations.
