Abstract
Well-posedness for optimization problems is a well-known notion and has been studied extensively for scalar, vector, and set-valued optimization problems. For the set-valued case, there are many subdivisions: firstly in terms of pointwise notion and global notion and secondly in terms of the solution concepts, like the vector approach, the set-relation approach, etc. Various definitions of pointwise well-posedness for a set-valued optimization problem in the set-relation approach have been proposed in the literature. Here we do a comparative study and suggest modifications in some existing results. We also introduce a new pointwise well-posedness and discuss its properties and connection with others.
