Porosity and Variational Principles
We prove that in some classes of optimization problems, like lower semicontinuous functions which are bounded from below, lower semi-continuous or continuous functions which are bounded below by a coercive function and quasi-convex continuous functions with the topology of the uniform convergence, the complement of the set of well-posed problems is σ-porous. These results are obtained as realization of a theorem extending a variational principle of Ioffe-Zaslavski.
