A new minimal element theorem and new generalizations of Ekeland’s variational principle in complete lattice optimization problem

Abstract

In this paper, we first introduce some types of set relations on the power set of n-dimensional Euclidean spaces which are proposed by Kuroiwa–Tanaka–Ha and Jahn–Ha. We also mention new types of cancellation laws of set relations. Second, we introduce a complete lattice-valued problem on the power set of n-dimensional Euclidean spaces proposed by Hamel et al. Applying nonlinear scalarizing technique in complete lattice, we present a new type of minimal element theorem and generalized Ekeland’s variational principles in complete lattice optimization problem. We also present an existence theorem of minimal solutions related to the famous Takahashi’s minimization theorem in complete lattice optimization problem.
