On a convolution operation obtained by adding level sets : classical and new results
We prove some multiplicity results concerning quasilinear elliptic equations with natural growth conditions. Techniques of nonsmooth critical point theory are employed.
In the paper necessary optimality conditions are derived for the minimization of a locally Lipschitz objective with respect to the consttraints , where is a closed set and is a set-valued map. No convexity requirements are imposed on . The conditions are applied to a generalized mathematical programming problem and to an abstract finite-dimensional optimal control problem.
In this paper certain criteria for reduced pairs of bounded closed convex set are presented. Some examples of reduced and not reduced pairs are enclosed.
In the paper, we deal with the relations among several generalized second-order directional derivatives. The results partially solve the problem which of the second-order optimality conditions is more useful.
Studying a critical value function in parametric nonlinear programming, we recall conditions guaranteeing that is a function and derive second order Taylor expansion formulas including second-order terms in the form of certain generalized derivatives of . Several specializations and applications are discussed. These results are understood as supplements to the well–developed theory of first- and second-order directional differentiability of the optimal value function in parametric optimization....
We observe that each set from the system (or even ) is -null; consequently, the version of Rademacher’s theorem (on Gâteaux differentiability of Lipschitz functions on separable Banach spaces) proved by D. Preiss and the author is stronger than that proved by D. Preiss and J. Lindenstrauss. Further, we show that the set of non-differentiability points of a convex function on is -strongly lower porous. A discussion concerning sets of Fréchet non-differentiability points of continuous convex...
