Global error bound for convex inclusion problems

摘要

The existence of global error bound for convex inclusion problems is discussed in this paper, including pointwise global error bound and uniform global error bound. The existence of uniform global error bound has been carefully studied in Burke and Tseng (SIAM J. Optim. 6(2), 265-282,1996) which unifies and extends many existing results. Our results on the uniform global error bound (see Theorem 3.2) generalize Theorem 9 in Burke and Tseng (1996) by weakening the constraint qualification and by widening the varying range of the parameter. As an application, the existence of global error bound for convex multifunctions is also discussed.
