Prox-regularity approach to generalized equations and image projection

Metric regularity and systems of generalized equations

The paper is devoted to a revision of the metric regularity property for mappings between metric or Banach spaces. Some new concepts are introduced: uniform metric regularity and metric multi-regularity for mappings into product spaces, when each component is perturbed independently. Regularity criteria are established based on a nonlocal version of Lyusternik-Graves theorem due to Milyutin. Th...

Regularity Criteria for the Generalized MHD Equations

Prox-regularity and Stability of the Proximal Mapping

Fundamental insights into the properties of a function come from the study of its Moreau envelopes and Proximal point mappings. In this paper we examine the stability of these two objects under several types of perturbations. In the simplest case, we consider tilt-perturbations, i.e. perturbations which correspond to adding a linear term to the objective function. We show that for functions tha...

By making use of the approximation method, we obtain the existence and regularity of the viscosity solutions for the generalized mean curvature flow. The asymptotic behavior of the flow is also considered. In particular, the Diri...

Prox-Regularity of Spectral Functions and Spectral Sets

Important properties such as differentiability and convexity of symmetric functions in Rn can be transferred to the corresponding spectral functions and vice-versa. Continuing to built on this line of research, we hereby prove that a spectral function F : Sn → R ∪ {+∞} is prox-regular if and only if the underlying symmetric function f : Rn → R ∪ {+∞} is prox-regular. Relevant properties of symm...
