Some new properties are obtained for generalized second-order contingent adjacent epideriva- tives of set-valued maps. By employing the generalized second-order adjacent epiderivatives, necessary and sufficient conditions of Benson proper efficient solutions are given for set-valued optimization problems. The results obtained improve the corresponding results in the literature. 1. Introduction The investigation of the optimality conditions is one of the most attractive topics of optimiza- tion theory since many optimization problems encountered in economics, engineering, and other fields involve vector-valued maps or set-valued maps as constraints and objectives see 1–3. With the concept of contingent derivative for a set-valued map see 3, Corley 4 investigated optimality conditions for general set-valued optimization problems. But it turns out that the optimality conditions do not coincide under standard assumptions. Jahn and Rauh 5 introduced the
