Summary: For a set-valued mapping \(M\) defined between two Hausdorff topological vector spaces \(E\) and \(F\) and with closed convex graph and for a given point \((x, y) \in E \times F\), we study the minimal time function associated with the images of \(M\) and a bounded set \(\Omega \subset F\) defined by \(\mathcal T_{M,\Omega}(x,y):=\mathrm{inf}\{t \geq 0 : M(x) \cap (y+t\Omega) \neq \emptyset\}\). We prove and extend various properties on directional derivatives and subdifferentials of \(\mathcal T_{M,\Omega}\) at those points of \((x, y) \in E \times F\) (both cases: points in the graph \(\operatorname{gph} M\) and points outside the graph). These results are used to prove, in terms of the minimal time function, various new characterizations of the convex tangent cone and the convex normal cone to the graph of \(M\) at points inside \(\operatorname{gph}M\) and to the graph of the enlargement set-valued mapping at points outside \(\operatorname{gph}M\). Our results extend many existing results from Banach spaces and normed vector spaces to Hausdorff topological vector spaces [\textit{M. Bounkhel}, Regularity concepts in nonsmooth analysis. Theory and applications. Berlin: Springer (2012; Zbl 1259.49022); \textit{M. Bounkhel} and \textit{L. Thibault}, Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl., Ser.

An application of the minimal time function \(\mathcal T_{M,\Omega}\) to the calmness property of perturbed optimization problems in Hausdorff topological vector spaces is given in the last section of the paper.
