- Description: Necessary and sufficient criteria for metric subregularity (or calmness) of set-valued mappings between general metric or Banach spaces are treated in the framework of the theory of error bounds for a special family of extended real-valued functions of two variables. A classification scheme for the general error bound and metric subregularity criteria is presented. The criteria are formulated in terms of several kinds of primal and subdifferential slopes.

- Description: The Goursat formula for the hypergeometric function extends the Euler-Gauss relation to the case of logarithmic singularities. We study the monodromic functional equation associated with a perturbation of the Bessel differential equation by means of a variant of the Laplace-Borel technique: we introduce and study a related monodromic equation in the dual complex plane. This construction is a crucial element in our proof of a duality theorem that leads to an extension of the Euler-Gauss-Goursat formula for hypergeometric functions to a substantially larger class of functions. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

- Description: In this paper, we introduce the exact tangent approximation property for a convex set and provide its characterizations, including the nonzero extent of a convex set. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the closedness of the positive hull of a convex set via a limit set defined by truncated upper level sets of the gauge function. We also apply the exact tangent approximation property to study the existence of a global error bound for a proper, lower semicontinuous and positively homogeneous function.

- Description: We generalize the outer subdifferential construction suggested by Cánovas, Henrion, López and Parra for max type functions to pointwise minima of regular Lipschitz functions. We also answer an open question about the relation between the outer subdifferential of the support of a regular function and the end set of its subdifferential posed by Li, Meng and Yang.

- Description: This paper studies stability of error bounds for convex constraints in Banach spaces. We show that certain known sufficient conditions for local and global error bounds actually ensure error bounds for the family of functions being in a sense small perturbations of the given one. A single inequality as well as semi-infinite constraint systems are considered.

- Description: In this paper, we are concerned with the stability of the error bounds for semi-infinite convex constraint systems. Roughly speaking, the error bound of a system of inequalities is said to be stable if all its "small" perturbations admit a (local or global) error bound. We first establish subdifferential characterizations of the stability of error bounds for semi-infinite systems of convex inequalities. By applying these characterizations, we extend some results established by Azé and Corvellec [SIAM J. Optim., 12 (2002), pp. 913-927] on the sensitivity analysis of Hoffman constants to semi-infinite linear constraint systems. Copyright © 2010, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
