Convexity criteria for set-valued maps (Q1362784)

The paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a set-valued function \(F\) between Banach spaces \(X\) and \(Y\) to be convex with respect to a convex cone \(K\subset Y\), i.e., to satisfy \[ tF(x_1)+ (1-t)F(x_2)\subset\text{cl}(F(tx_1+ (1-t)x_2)),\quad x_1,x_2\in X,\quad t\in[0,1]. \] These conditions are written in terms of the contingent derivative of the map \(\widehat F(\cdot)= F(\cdot)+ K\).
