Characterizations of error bounds for lower semicontinuous functions on metric spaces

Dominique Azé, Jean-Noël Corvellec (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Refining the variational method introduced in Azé et al. [Nonlinear Anal. 49 (2002) 643-670], we give characterizations of the existence of so-called global and local error bounds, for lower semicontinuous functions defined on complete metric spaces. We thus provide a systematic and synthetic approach to the subject, emphasizing the special case of convex functions defined on arbitrary Banach spaces (refining the abstract part of Azé and Corvellec [SIAM J. Optim. 12 (2002) 913-927], and the characterization...

Computation of the distance to semi-algebraic sets

Christophe Ferrier (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper is devoted to the computation of distance to set, called S, defined by polynomial equations. First we consider the case of quadratic systems. Then, application of results stated for quadratic systems to the quadratic equivalent of polynomial systems (see [5]), allows us to compute distance to semi-algebraic sets. Problem of computing distance can be viewed as non convex minimization problem: d ( u , S ) = inf x S x - u 2 , where u is in n . To have, at least, lower approximation of distance, we consider the dual...
