Nonconvex differential calculus for infinite-dimensional multifunctions (Q2563813)

The authors start from a notion of normal cone built by means of Fréchet \(\varepsilon\)-normals and a procedure of sequential upper limit. Then they build a related notion of coderivative for a multifunction \(F\) from a Banach space \(X\) to another Banach space \(Y\). When \(X\) and \(Y\) are both Asplund spaces, such a notion turns out to have a rich calculus. Their approach should be compared with that of \textit{A. D. Ioffe} [Mathematika 36, No. 1, 1-38 (1989; Zbl 0713.49022)], which is otherwise based on topological upper limits. In the particular case of an extended real-valued function \(\varphi:X\to \overline{\mathbb{R}}\), corresponding notions have been introduced by the same authors in J. Convex Anal. 2, No. 1-2, 211-227 (1995; Zbl 0838.49013).
