Abstract

In this paper, we introduce several robustness concepts for uncertain multiobjective optimization problems and using polar cone and some scalarization functions we characterize these concepts. We provide some equivalent characterizations for various robust solutions to uncertain multiobjective optimization problems based on a set approach.
