    Title: Conectedness and stability of the solution sets in multiobjective linear fractional programming
    Author: Nguyen Dong Yen and Ta Duy Phuong
    Abstract: As it was shown by C. Malivert (1996) and other authors, in a multiobjective linear fractional programming problem, any point satisfying the first-order necessary optimality condition (a stationary point) is a solution. Therefore, solving such a problem is equivalent to solving a monotone affine vector variational inequality. This observation allows us to apply the existing results on monotone affine variational inequality to establish some facts about connectedness and stability of the solution sets in multiobjective linear fractional programming. In particular, we are able to solve a question raised by E. U. Choo and D. R. Atkins (1983) by proving that the set of all the efficient points (Pareto solutions) of a multiobjective linear fractional programming problem with a bounded constraint set is connected.
