In this paper we develop with considerable details a theory of multivector functions of a p-vector variable. The concepts of limit, continuity and differentiability are rigorously studied. Several important types of derivatives for these multivector functions are introduced, as e.g., the A-directional derivative (where A is a p-vector) and the generalized concepts of curl, divergence and gradie...

In this paper we prove the differentiability of Lipschitz maps X → V , where X is a complete metric measure space satisfying a doubling condition and a Poincaré inequality, and V denotes a Banach space with the Radon Nikodym Property (RNP). The proof depends on a new characterization of the differentiable structure on such metric measure spaces, in terms of directional derivatives in the direct...

This paper considers metric projections onto a closed subset S of a Hilbert space. If the set S is convex, then it is well known that the corresponding metric projections always exist, unique and directionally differentiable at boundary points of S. These properties of metric projections are considered for possibly nonconvex sets S. In particular, existence and directional differentiability of ...

This paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by a semilinear, nonsmooth operator differential equation. The nonlinearity is locally Lipschitz-continuous and directionally differentiable, but not Gâteaux-differentiable. Two types of necessary optimality conditions are derived, the first one by means of regularization, the second one by using the directional differentiability ...

Some basic concepts for functions defined on subsets of the unit sphere, such as s-directional derivative, s-gradient and s-Gateaux s-Frechet differentiability etc, are introduced investigated. These different from usual ones Euclidean spaces, however, results obtained here very similar. Then, applications, we provide some criterions s-convexity spheres which improvements or refinements known r...

In this paper, the directional lower and upper derivatives of the maxmin function are investigated by using the directional lower and upper derivative sets of the max-min set valued map. Sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of the directional derivative of the max-min function are obtained.

The differentiability properties of the metric projection Pc on a closed convex set C in Hilbert space are characterized in terms of the smoothness type of the boundary of C. Our approach is based on using variational type second derivatives as a sufficiently flexible tool to describe the boundary struc ture of the set C with regard to the differentiability of Pc. We extend results by R.B. Holm...

We consider a generalized equation governed by strongly monotone and Lipschitz single-valued mapping maximally set-valued in Hilbert space. are interested the sensitivity of solutions w.r.t. perturbations both mappings. demonstrate that directional differentiability solution map can be verified using operator resolvent mapping. The result is applied to quasi-generalized equations which we have ...
