Abstract
In this paper, we study some relationships between interval-valued vector optimization problems and vector variational inequalities under the assumptions of LU-convex smooth and non-smooth objective functions. We identify the weakly efficient points of the interval-valued vector optimization problems and the solutions of the weak vector variational inequalities under smooth and non-smooth LU-convexity assumptions.
