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.

We further investigate the uniform regularity property of collections of sets via primal and dual characterizing constants. These constants play an important role in determining convergence rates of projection algorithms for solving feasibility problems.

This article aims to demonstrate how the definitions of slopes can be extended to multi-valued mappings between metric spaces and applied for characterizing metric regularity. Several kinds of local and nonlocal slopes are defined and several metric regularity properties for set-valued mappings between metric spaces are investigated.

Description:
Stationarity and regularity concepts for the three typical for variational analysis classes of objects - real-valued functions, collections of sets, and multifunctions - are investigated. An attempt is maid to present a classification scheme for such concepts and to show that properties introduced for objects from different classes can be treated in a similar way. Furthermore, in many cases the corresponding properties appear to be in a sense equivalent. The properties are defined in terms of certain constants which in the case of regularity properties provide also some quantitative characterizations of these properties. The relations between different constants and properties are discussed.
Description:
In this article, we refine and slightly strengthen the metric space version of the Borwein-Preiss variational principle due to Li and Shi (2000) [12], clarify the assumptions and conclusions of their Theorem 1 as well as Theorem 2.5.2 in Borwein and Zhu (2005) [4] and streamline the proofs. Our main result, Theorem 3 is formulated in the metric space setting. When reduced to Banach spaces (Corollary 9), it extends and strengthens the smooth variational principle established in Borwein and Preiss (1987) [3] along several directions. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Description:
Using techniques of variational analysis, necessary and sufficient subdifferential conditions for Holder error bounds are investigated and some new estimates for the corresponding modulus are obtained. As an application, we consider the setting of convex semi-infinite optimization and give a characterization of the Holder calmness of the argmin mapping in terms of the level set mapping (with respect to the objective function) and a special supremum function. We also estimate the Holder calmness modulus of the argmin mapping in the framework of linear programming.

Description:
In this paper, we attempt to extend the definition and existing local error bound criteria to vector-valued functions, or more generally, to functions taking values in a normed linear space. Some new primal space derivative-like objects – slopes – are introduced and a classification scheme of error bound criteria is presented.

We study the usage of regularity properties of collections of sets in convergence analysis of alternating projection methods for solving feasibility problems. Several equivalent characterizations of these properties are provided. Two settings of inexact alternating projections are considered and the corresponding convergence estimates are established and discussed.
Description:
This article continues the investigation of stationarity and regularity properties of infinite collections of sets in a Banach space started in Kruger and López (J. Optim. Theory Appl. 154(2), 2012), and is mainly focused on the application of the stationarity criteria to infinitely constrained optimization problems. We consider several settings of optimization problems which involve (explicitly or implicitly) infinite collections of sets and deduce for them necessary conditions characterizing stationarity in terms of dual space elements-normals and/or subdifferentials.

Description:
In this article, we investigate nonlinear metric subregularity properties of set-valued mappings between general metric or Banach spaces. We demonstrate that these properties can be treated in the framework of the theory of (linear) error bounds for extended real-valued functions of two variables developed in Kruger (Error bounds and metric subregularity. Optimization 64(1):49-79, 2015). Several primal and dual space local quantitative and qualitative criteria of nonlinear metric subregularity are formulated. The relationships between the criteria are established and illustrated.

Description:
Extremality, stationarity and regularity notions for a system of closed sets in a normed linear space are investigated. The equivalence of different abstract “extremal” settings in terms of set systems and multifunctions is proved. The dual necessary and sufficient conditions of weak stationarity (the Extended extremal principle) are presented for the case of an Asplund space.

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:
We synthesize and unify notions of regularity, both of individual sets and of collections of sets, as they appear in the convergence theory of projection methods for consistent feasibility problems. Several new characterizations of regularities are presented which shed light on the relations between seemingly different ideas and point to possible necessary conditions for local linear convergence of fundamental algorithms
