Characterizations of Full Stability in Constrained Optimization

This paper is mainly devoted to the study of the so-called full Lipschitzian stability of local solutions to finite-dimensional parameterized problems of constrained optimization, which has been well recognized as a very important property from both viewpoints of optimization theory and its applications. Based on secondorder generalized differential tools of variational analysis, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for fully stable local minimizers in general classes of constrained optimization problems including problems of composite optimization, mathematical programs with polyhedral constraints as well as problems of extended and classical nonlinear programming with twice continuously differentiable data.
