Clarke Jacobians, Bouligand Jacobians, and compact connected sets of matrices (Q2166436)

This note is dedicated to extending from Clarke Jacobians to Bouligand Jacobians various recent results of the first two named authors. The main statement reveals that every nonempty compact connected set of matrices can be expressed as the Bouligand Jacobian at the origin of a suitable Lipschitzian mapping which is moreover either countably piecewise affine or \(C^\infty\)-smooth outside the neighbourhoods of the origin.
