Abstract Nonlinear scalarization is a very important method to deal with the vector optimization problems. In this paper, some conic nonlinear scalarization characterizations of E-optimal points, weakly E-optimal points, and E-Benson properly efficient points proposed via improvement sets are established by a new scalarization function, respectively. These results improved and generalized some previously known results. As a special case, the scalarization of Benson properly efficient points is also given. Some examples are given to illustrate the main results.

1 Introduction Everyone knows that the concepts of approximate solutions have been playing an important role in vector optimization theory and applications. In recent years, there are a lot of works related to vector optimization and some concepts of approximate solutions for vector optimization problems are proposed and some scalarization characterizations of these approximate solutions are studied; see [1–7] and the references therein. In 2011, Chicco et al. [5] introduced E-optimal point concepts based on comprehensive sets and investigated some properties of improvement sets in Euclidean space. Gutiérre et al. [6] extended the definition of improvement sets to a general real locally convex topological linear space and obtained the scalar characterization for E-efficient solutions. Based on improvement sets, Zhao et al. [8] proposed E-Benson properly efficient solutions which unified some proper efficiency and approximate proper efficiency and obtained some linear scalarization characterizations under the nearly E-subconvexlikeness. It is well known that both theory and practice of vector optimization have always been closely related to scalarization procedures. In general, scalarization means the replacement of a vector optimization problem by a suitable scalar optimization problem. Since the scalar optimization theory is widely developed, scalarization turns out to be of great importance for the vector optimization theory. [9–11] Especially, in 20
