Integrability of Subdifferentials of Directionally Lipschitz Functions

^-representation of Subdifferentials of Directionally Lipschitz Functions

Subdifferentials of convex functions and some regular functions f are expressed in terms of limiting gradients at points in a given dense subset of dorn Vf.

Michel-Penot subdifferential and Lagrange multiplier rule

-In this paper, we investigate some properties of Michel Penot subdifferentials of locally Lipschitz functions and establish Lagrange multiplier rule in terms of Michel-Penot subdifferentials for nonsmooth mathematical programming problem. Key-Words: Nonsmooth optimization; approximate subdifferentials; generalized gradient; Michel Penot subdifferential; Banach space.

Partial second-order subdifferentials of -prox-regular functions

Although prox-regular functions in general are nonconvex, they possess properties that one would expect to find in convex or lowerC2  functions. The class of prox-regular functions covers all convex functions, lower C2  functions and strongly amenable functions. At first, these functions have been identified in finite dimension using proximal subdifferential. Then, the definition of prox-regula...

Characterization of Lipschitz Continuous Difference of Convex Functions

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a difference of convex (DC, for short) functions, defined on a normed space, to be Lipschitz continuous. Our criterion relies on the intersection of the ε-subdifferentials of the involved functions.
