Abstract

We consider both global and local conditions for optimization problems governed by set-valued maps. For global conditions, we present a comparative study and then we impose the weaker ones to obtain optimality conditions. Therefore, we introduce some local conditions and we prove that these conditions are useful (mainly) in the study of Borwein proper minima for the considered problems.
