In this paper we deal with sensitivity analysis in multiobjective differential programs with equality constraints. We analyze the quantitative behavior of the optimal solutions according to changes of right-hand side values included in the original optimization problem. One of the difficulties lies in the fact that the efficient solution in multiobjective optimization in general becomes a set. If the preference of the decision maker is represented by a scalar utility which transforms optimal solutions in optima, we may apply existing methods of sensitivity analysis. However, when dealing with a subset of optimal points, the existence of a Frechet differentiable selection of such a set-valued map is usually assumed. The aim of the paper is to investigate the derivative of certain set-valued maps of efficient points. We show that the sensitivity depends on a set-valued map associated to the T-Lagrange multipliers and a projection of its sensitivity.
