G-pre-invex functions in mathematical programming

In the present paper, we introduce the concept of G  -pre-invex functions with respect to ηη defined on an invex set with respect to ηη. These function unify the concepts of nondifferentiable convexity, pre-invexity and r-pre-invexity. Furthermore, relationships of G-pre-invex functions to various introduced earlier pre-invexity concepts are also discussed. Some (geometric) properties of this class of functions are also derived. Finally, optimality results are established for optimization problems under appropriate G-pre-invexity conditions.
