Abstract

This paper investigates the arcwise connectedness of approximate solution sets for set optimization problems under the set less order relation via a scalarization approach. First, we establish the continuity of a novel nonlinear scalarization function constructed based on the set less criterion. Next, scalarization properties of the approximate solution sets are rigorously derived. Finally, we derive arcwise connectedness of weak approximate solutions for set optimization problems. These results enrich the exploration of scalarization and connectedness under set less order relations and provide a theoretical foundation for subsequent research.
