- Abstract
- In this paper, we first give characterizations of the superdifferential of extended valued topical functions defined on a semimodule with values in a semifield. Next, we characterize minimal elements of the upper support set of extended valued topical functions. Finally, as an application, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for global maximum of the difference of two strictly topical functions defined on a semimodule. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc.
