Abstract
This paper gives a short overview on important subjects of vector optimization and it examines present research directions in this area of optimization. In the theory we turn our attention to scalarization, optimality conditions and duality. Concerning the numerical methods we study only the class of interactive methods, a modified method of Polak and a method of reference point approximation. Finally, applications to problems of the design of a sandwich beam and a fluidized reactor-heater system are discussed.
