We study on a product Banach space the properties of a class of saddle functions called partially ball weakly inf-compact. For such a function we prove that the domain of the subdifferential is nonempty, that the operator naturally associated with the subdifferential is maximal monotone, and that the subdifferential of the function is integrable. For a function in a large subclass of that class...

This paper presents a descent direction method for finding extrema of locally Lipschitz functions defined on Riemannian manifolds. To this end we define a set-valued mapping x → ∂εf(x) named ε-subdifferential which is an approximation for the Clarke subdifferential and which generalizes the Goldstein-ε-subdifferential to the Riemannian setting. Using this notion we construct a steepest descent ...

Some properties of the weak subdifferential are considered in this paper. By using the definition and properties of the weak subdifferential which are described in the papers Azimov and Gasimov, 1999; Kasimbeyli and Mammadov, 2009; Kasimbeyli and Inceoglu, 2010 , the author proves some theorems connecting weak subdifferential in nonsmooth and nonconvex analysis. It is also obtained necessary op...

In this paper, we investigate relation between weak subdifferential and augmented normal cone. We define augmented normal cone via weak subdifferential and vice versa. The necessary conditions for the global maximum are also stated. We produce preliminary properties of augmented normal cones and discuss them via the distance function. Then we obtain the augmented normal cone for the indicator f...

We consider a nonlinear Neumann elliptic inclusion with a source (reaction term) consisting of a convex subdifferential plus a multivalued term depending on the gradient. The convex subdifferential incorporates in our framework problems with unilateral constraints (variational inequalities). Using topological methods and the Moreau-Yosida approximations of the subdifferential term, we establish...

Throughout, X stands for a real Banach space, SX for its unit sphere, X ∗ for its topological dual, and 〈·, ·〉 for the duality pairing. All the functions f : X → R∪{+∞} are lower semicontinuous. The Clarke subdifferential , the Hadamard subdifferential and the Fréchet subdifferential of f are respectively denoted by ∂Cf , ∂Hf and ∂F f . The Zagrodny two points mean value inequality has proved t...

Sparsity-promoting terms are incorporated into the objective functions of optimal control problems in order to ensure that controls vanish on large parts underlying domain. Typical candidates for those integral Lebesgue spaces based $\ell_p$-metric $p\in[0,1)$ which nonconvex as well non-Lipschitz and, thus, variationally challenging. In this paper, we derive exact formulas Frechet, limiting, a...

In a real separable Hilbert space, we consider nonautonomous evolution equations including time-dependent subdifferentials and their nonmonotone multivalued perturbations. In this paper, we treat the multivalued dynamical systems associated with time-dependent subdifferentials, in which the solution is not unique for a given initial state. In particular, we discuss the asymptotic behaviour of o...

Following [13] we provide new formulas for the Fenchel subdifferential of the conjugate of functions defined on locally convex spaces. In particular, this allows deriving expressions for the minimizers set of the lower semicontinuous convex hull of such functions. These formulas are written by means of primal objects related to the subdifferential of the initial function, namely a new enlargeme...

We develop new perturbation techniques for conducting convergence analysis of various first-order algorithms a class nonsmooth optimization problems. consider the iteration scheme an algorithm to construct perturbed stationary point set-valued map, and define perturbing parameter by difference two consecutive iterates. Then, we show that calmness condition induced together with local version pr...
