In this paper, a generalized $\epsilon-$subdifferential, which was defined by a norm, is first introduced for a vector valued mapping. Some existence theorems and the properties of the generalized $\epsilon-$subdifferential are discussed. A relationship between the generalized $\epsilon-$subdifferential and a directional derivative is investigated for a vector valued mapping. Then, the calculus rules of the generalized $\epsilon-$subdifferential for the sum and the difference of two vector valued mappings were given. The positive homogeneity of the generalized $\epsilon-$subdifferential is also provided. Finally, as applications, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are established for vector optimization problems.
Keywords: vector optimization problem., Generalized $\epsilon-$subdifferential, calculus rule, optimality condition, vector valued mapping.
