We introduce the concept of null set in the space of all bounded closed intervals. Based on this concept, we can define two partial orderings according to the substraction and Hukuhara difference between any two bounded closed intervals, which will be used to define the solution concepts of interval-valued optimization problems. On the other hand, we transform the interval-valued optimization problems into the conventional vector optimization problem. Under these settings, we can apply the technique of scalarization to solve this transformed vector optimization problem. Finally, we show that the optimal solution of the scalarized problem is also the optimal solution of the original interval-valued optimization problem.

Keywords: Minimal element, maximal element, Hukuhara difference, partial ordering, pointed cone.
