Abstract

A new direction in the study of efficiency, which is now in developing, is the study of ε-efficiency or of other forms of approximative efficiency. In particular, the ε-efficiency is related to the study of ε-solutions in vector optimization problems. Begining with the paper of Loridan (1984) several concepts for approximately efficient solutions of a vector optimization problem were published in the last years. We mention the works by Németh (1986), Staib (1988), Valyi (1985), Gerth (Tammer) (1978), Tammer (1992), Tammer [l]-[3] (1993), Helbig e.a. (1992), Isac (1984, 1986), Gopfert and Tammer [1],[3] (1995), Göpfert and Tammer (1998) among others. This chapter is dedicated to the study of approximative efficiency.
