Lipschitz properties of nonsmooth functions and set-valued mappings via generalized differentiation

摘要

In this paper, we revisit the Mordukhovich subdifferential criterion for Lipschitz continuity of nonsmooth functions and the coderivative criterion for the Aubin/Lipschitz-like property of set-valued mappings in finite dimensions. The criteria are useful and beautiful results in modern variational analysis showing the state of the art of the field. As an application, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for Lipschitz continuity of the minimal time function and the scalarization function, which play an important role in many aspects of nonsmooth analysis and optimization.
