Abstract

This paper is concerned with a multiobjective convex polynomial problem, where the objective and constraint functions are first-order scaled diagonally dominant sums-of-squares convex polynomials. We first establish necessary and sufficient optimality criteria in terms of second-order cone (SOC) conditions for (weak) efficiencies of the underlying multiobjective optimization problem. We then show that the obtained result provides us a way to find (weak) efficient solutions of the multiobjective program by solving a scalar second-order cone programming relaxation problem of a given weighted-sum optimization problem. In addition, we propose a dual multiobjective problem by means of SOC conditions to the multiobjective optimization problem and examine weak, strong and converse duality relations.
