In this paper, we introduce the second-order weakly composed radial epiderivative of set-valued maps, discuss its relationship to the second-order weakly composed contingent epiderivative, and obtain some of its properties. Then we establish the necessary optimality conditions and sufficient optimality conditions of Benson proper efficient solutions of constrained set-valued optimization problems by means of the second-order epiderivative. Some of our results improve and imply the corresponding ones in recent literature.
