Second order optimality conditions for differentiable multiobjective problems

A second order optimality condition for multiobjective optimization with a set constraint is developed; this condition is expressed as the impossibility of nonhomogeneous linear systems. When the constraint is given in terms of inequalities and equalities, it can be turned into a John type multipliers rule, using a nonhomogeneous Motzkin Theorem of the Alternative. Adding weak second order regularity assumptions, Karush, Kuhn–Tucker type conditions are therefore deduced.
