Tóm tắt

It is shown that if k(x) is an upper semicontinuous and quasi lower semicontinuous function on a Banach space X, then k(x)B X* is the Clarke subdifferential of some locally Lipschitz function on X. Related results for approximate subdifferentials are also given. Moreover, on smooth Banach spaces, for every locally Lipschitz function with minimal Clarke subdifferential, one can obtain a maximal Clarke subdifferential map via its ‘local Lipschitz-constant’ function. Finally, some results concerning the characterization and calculus of local Lipschitz-constant functions are developed.
