Abstract
This paper considers higher-order necessary conditions for Henig-proper, positively proper and Benson-proper solutions. Under suitable constraint qualifications, our conditions are of the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker rule. The conditions include higher-order complementarity slackness for both the objective and the constraining maps. They are in a nonclassical form with a supremum expression on the right-hand side (instead of zero). Our results are new and improve the existing ones in the literature, even when applied to special cases of multiobjective single-valued optimization problems.
