Abstract

We formulate a pair of symmetric dual nondifferentiable multiobjective programming and establish appropriate duality theorems. We also show that differentiable and nondifferentiable analogues of several pairs of symmetric dual problems can be obtained as special cases of our general symmetric programs.
