Abstract

Let $E$ be a topological vector space and $C$ a pointed closed convex cone. For a set $Q$ in $E$ we prove arcwise connectedness of the efficient point set $Max(Q|C)$ between any two points of a closed set $M \subset Max(Q|C)$ with a compact closed convex hull and having certain additional property. An application to a class of non-convex in general sets is given. The method generalizes the one from [6] concerning compact convex sets and allows also for such sets to obtain a more general result.
