Clarke critical values of subanalytic Lipschitz continuous functions

Jérôme Bolte, Aris Daniilidis, Adrian Lewis, Masahiro Shiota (2005)

Similarity:

The main result of this note asserts that for any subanalytic locally Lipschitz function the set of its Clarke critical values is locally finite. The proof relies on Pawłucki's extension of the Puiseux lemma. In the last section we give an example of a continuous subanalytic function which is not constant on a segment of "broadly critical" points, that is, points for which we can find arbitrarily short convex combinations of gradients at nearby points.

Discontinuous quasilinear elliptic problems at resonance

Nikolaos Kourogenis, Nikolaos Papageorgiou (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

In this paper we study a quasilinear resonant problem with discontinuous right hand side. To develop an existence theory we pass to a multivalued version of the problem, by filling in the gaps at the discontinuity points. We prove the existence of a nontrivial solution using a variational approach based on the critical point theory of nonsmooth locally Lipschitz functionals.

On second–order Taylor expansion of critical values

Stephan Bütikofer, Diethard Klatte, Bernd Kummer (2010)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Studying a critical value function ϕ in parametric nonlinear programming, we recall conditions guaranteeing that ϕ is a C 1 , 1 function and derive second order Taylor expansion formulas including second-order terms in the form of certain generalized derivatives of D ϕ . 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...
