Alternative theorems such as Farkas’ lemma and Gordan’s theorem usually play important roles in considering optimality conditions and many kinds of valuable extensions intended to find other similar conditions have been established. Jeyakumar [1] produced a generalized Gordan’s theorem for a vector-valued function in 1986. In 1999, Li [2] extended it to the case of set-valued maps. In this talk, I would like to introduce alternative theorems from a set-valued analytic point of view, using the set-relations proposed by Kuroiwa, Tanaka, and Ha [3] in 1997. They can be considered in a topological vector space with the set-relations induced by a convex ordering cone. A similar approach with scalarizing functions for vectors had been done by Nishizawa, Onodsuka, and Tanaka [4] in 2005. Accordingly, I show 12 types of alternative theorems given by scalarizing functions for sets in order to extend them to more general forms. Comparing with a lot of former alternative theorems, these ones achieve the subdivision of the case and the simplification of the forms of them at the same time. Reducing some conditions, we can recognize some of 12 types of theorems imply several former ones including Gordan’s theorem. [1] V.
