Abstract. Vector optimization problems are a significant extension of scalar optimization and have wide
range of application in various fields of economics, decision theory, game theory, information
theory and optimal control theory. In this paper, unlike general subgradient methods, bundle
methods and gradient sampling methods used to solve nonsmooth vector optimization problems
which include scalarization approach, a subgradient method without usual scalarization
approached is proposed for minimizing a non-differentiable convex function which works
directly with vector-valued function. A general sub-gradient method for non-smooth convex
optimization that includes regularization and interior point variants of Newton's Method are
proposed. This algorithm builds a sequence of efficient points at the interior of epigraph of
objective function which satisfies KKT conditions. In this paper, under the suitable conditions it
is proved that the sequence generated by algorithm converges to -efficient point.
