Abstract
In this survey we present the fundamental ideas and results related to the role played by generalized concavity in stating sufficient optimality conditions, in studying local and global efficiency, in finding relationships between local efficiency and efficiency along feasible directions, and in establishing the connectedness of the efficient point sets.
