Abstract
The aim of this paper is to study characterizations of minimal and approximate minimal solutions for a unified vector optimization problem in a Hausdorff real topological vector space. These characterizations have been obtained via scalarizations which are based on general order representing and order preserving properties. A nonlinear scalarization based on Gerstewitz function is shown to be a particular case of the proposed scalarizations. Furthermore, in the setting of normed space, characterizations are given for minimal solutions by using scalarization function based on the oriented distance function. Finally, under appropriate assumptions it is shown that this function satisfies order representing and order preserving properties.
