Based on the isomorphism between the space of star-shaped sets and the space of continuous positively homogeneous real-valued functions,the star-shaped differential of a directionally differentiable function is defined. Formulas for star-shaped differential of a pointwise maximum and a pointwise minimum of a finite number of directionally differentiable functions,and a composite of two directionally differentiable functions are derived. Furthermore,the mean-value theorem for a directionally differentiable function is demonstrated.
