- Description: We revisit some basic concepts and ideas of the classical differential calculus and convex analysis extending them to a broader frame. We reformulate and generalize the notion of Gateaux differentiability and propose new notions of generalized derivative and generalized subdifferential in an arbitrary topological vector space. Meaningful examples preserving the key properties of the original notion of derivative are provided. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC part of Springer Nature.

- Description: In this work, we study the blow-up criterion of the smooth solutions of three-dimensional incompressible Hall-magnetohydrohynamics equations (in short, Hall-MHD). We obtain a logarithmically improved regularity criterion of smooth solutions in terms of the B˙∞,∞0 norm. We improve the blow-up criterion for smooth solutions established in Ye (Appl Anal 96:2669–2683, 2016). © 2021, SBMAC - Sociedade Brasileira de Matemática Aplicada e Computacional.

- Description: In this paper, we use a robust lower directional derivative and provide some sufficient conditions to ensure the strong regularity of a given mapping at a certain point. Then, we discuss the Hoffman estimation and achieve some results for the estimate of the distance to the set of solutions to a system of linear equalities. The advantage of our estimate is that it allows one to calculate the coefficient of the error bound. © 2021, The Author(s).

- Description: This paper deals with the existence of solutions to equilibrium and quasi-equilibrium problems without any convexity assumption. Coverage includes some equivalences to the Ekeland variational principle for bifunctions and basic facts about transfer lower continuity. An application is given to systems of quasi-equilibrium problems. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

- Description: In this note we prove a symmetric version of the Neumann lemma as well as a symmetric version of the Soderlind-Campanato lemma. We establish in this way two partial generalizations of the well-known Casazza-Christenses lemma. This work is related to the Birkhoff-James orthogonality and to the concept of near operators introduced by S. Campanato. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier Inc.

- Description: Our aim in the current article is to extend the developments in Kruger et al. (SIAM J Optim 20(6):3280–3296, 2010. doi:10.1137/100782206) and, more precisely, to characterize, in the Banach space setting, the stability of the local and global error bound property of inequalities determined by lower semicontinuous functions under data perturbations. We propose new concepts of (arbitrary, convex and linear) perturbations of the given function defining the system under consideration, which turn out to be a useful tool in our analysis. The characterizations of error bounds for families of perturbations can be interpreted as estimates of the ‘radius of error bounds’. The definitions and characterizations are illustrated by examples. © 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg and Mathematical Optimization Society.

- Description: Our main goal is to compute or estimate the calmness modulus of the argmin mapping of linear semi-infinite optimization problems under canonical perturbations, i.e., perturbations of the objective function together with continuous perturbations of the right-hand side of the constraint system (with respect to an index ranging in a compact Hausdorff space). Specifically, we provide a lower bound on the calmness modulus for semi-infinite programs with unique optimal solution which turns out to be the exact modulus when the problem is finitely constrained. The relationship between the calmness of the argmin mapping and the same property for the (sub)level set mapping (with respect to the objective function), for semi-infinite programs and without requiring the uniqueness of the nominal solution, is explored, too, providing an upper bound on the calmness modulus of the argmin mapping. When confined to finitely constrained problems, we also provide a computable upper bound as it only relies on the nominal data and parameters, not involving elements in a neighborhood. Illustrative examples are provided.

- 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.
