Calculus of sequential normal compactness in variational analysis.

From MaRDI portal





Variational analysis, and in particular the theory of generalized differentiation, is based on various kinds of limiting procedures, which in infinite-dimensional spaces require suitable compactness properties. In the present paper, the authors study systematically sequential normal compactness and related properties. A subset \(\Omega\) of a Banach space is said to be sequentially normally compact (SNC) at a point \(\overline x\in\Omega\) if for any sequences \(x_k@>\Omega>> \overline x\), \(\varepsilon_k\downarrow 0\) and \(x^*_k\in\widehat N_{\varepsilon_k}(x_k; \Omega)\) (\(\varepsilon_k\)-normals to \(\Omega\) at \(x_k\)) one has \[ x^*_k@> w^*>> 0\Rightarrow\| x^*_k\|\to 0\qquad\text{as }k\to\infty. \] Among others, it is shown that under a qualification condition, the intersection of finitely many SNC subsets of an Asplund space is again an SNC set. Moreover, the SNC property is studied for set-valued and extended-real-valued mappings.
