Abstract
We study directional strict efficiency in vector optimization and equilibrium problems with set-valued map objectives. We devise several possibilities to define a meaningful concept of strict efficiency in a directional sense for these kinds of problems and then we present necessary optimality conditions from several perspectives by means of generalized differentiation calculus. A concept of generalized convexity for multimappings is employed as well and its role in getting equivalence between some classes of solutions is emphasized.
