Abstract
The principal aim of this paper is to show that weakly cone-convex vector-valued functions, as well as weakly cone-quasiconvex vector-valued functions, can be characterized in terms of usual weakly convexity and weakly quasiconvexity of certain real-valued functions, defined by means of the extreme directions of the polar cone or by Gerstewitz’s scalarization functions.
