Paraconvex functions and paraconvex sets

Huynh Van Ngai, Jean-Paul Penot (2008)

Studia Mathematica

We study a class of functions which contains both convex functions and differentiable functions whose derivatives are locally Lipschitzian or Hölderian. This class is a subclass of the class of approximately convex functions. It enjoys refined properties. We also introduce a class of sets whose associated distance functions are of that type. We discuss the properties of the metric projections on such sets under some assumptions on the geometry of the Banach spaces in which they are embedded. We...

Point derivations for Lipschitz functions andClarke's generalized derivative

Vladimir Demyanov, Diethard Pallaschke (1997)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Clarke’s generalized derivative f 0 ( x , v ) is studied as a function on the Banach algebra Lip(X,d) of bounded Lipschitz functions f defined on an open subset X of a normed vector space E. For fixed x X and fixed v E the function f 0 ( x , v ) is continuous and sublinear in f L i p ( X , d ) . It is shown that all linear functionals in the support set of this continuous sublinear function satisfy Leibniz’s product rule and are thus point derivations. A characterization of the support set in terms of point derivations is given.
