EFFICIENCY AND CHOQUET BOUNDARIES IN SEPARATED LOCALLY CONVEX SPACES ˘ VASILE POSTOLICA Received 10 March 2002 This research paper is devoted to the study of the properties for Pareto-type efficient point sets in separated locally convex spaces, based upon an earlier result on the coincidence of Pareto-type efficient point sets and the Choquet boundaries and the natural corresponding extension for the approximate efficient point sets in Hausdorff locally convex spaces. Both of these results represent an important connection between two great fields of mathematics: vector optimization and potential theory. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 90C29, 90C48. 1. Introduction. The significant result set forth in [7] is thought not to be sufficiently well known even if one colligates the coincidence between the set of all Pareto-type min- imum points of any nonempty, compact set, with respect to the order relation given by an arbitrary closed, convex, pointed cone in every Hausdorff locally convex space and the Choquet boundary of the same set with respect to a convenient convex cone of real continuous functions defined on the set, all of these functions increasing in comparison with the order relation induced by the cone. The natural “mutatis mutandis” general- ization for the efficiency regarding the Pareto-type maximum points sets, together with the immediate consequences, some important open problems coupled with the recent investigations of the efficient points, and the main properties for the efficient points sets in the best appropriate framework offered by the separated locally convex spaces ordered by the supernormal cones introduced by Isac in 1981 and publis
