Let [Formula: see text] be a real symmetric polynomial matrix of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be the largest eigenvalue function of the matrix [Formula: see text] We denote by [Formula: see text] the Clarke subdifferential of [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text] In this paper, we first give the following nonsmooth version of Łojasiewicz gradient inequality for the function [Formula: see text] with an explicit exponent: For any [Formula: see text] there exist [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] such that we have for all [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a function introduced by D’Acunto and Kurdyka: [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] Then we establish some local and global versions of Łojasiewicz inequalities which bound the distance function to the set [Formula: see text] by some exponents of the function [Formula: see text].

In this paper, we prove a theorem on the existence of solutions for a second order differential inclusion governed by the Clarke subdifferential of a Lipschitzian function and by a mixed semicontinuous perturbation.

AbstractThis paper is devoted to extending formulas for the geometric approximate subdifferential and the Clarke subdifferential of extended-real-valued functions on Banach spaces. The results are strong enough to include completely the finite dimensional setting.

Let CL(X) denote the nonempty closed subsets of a metric space X. We answer the following question: in which spaces X is the Kuratowski convergence of a sequence {Cn} in CL(X) to a nonempty closed set C equivalent to the pointwise convergence of the distance functions for the sets in the sequence to the distance function for C ? We also obtain some related results from two general convergence theorems for equicontinuous families of real valued functions regarding the convergence of graphs and epigraphs of functions in the family.

We investigate the circumstances under which the distance function to a closed set in a Banach space having a one-sided directional derivative equal to 1 or −1 implies the existence of nearest points. In reflexive spaces we show that at a dense set of points outside a closed set the distance function has a directional derivative equal to 1.

The notions ofrelaxed submonotoneandrelaxed monotonemappings in Banach spaces are introduced and many of their properties are investigated. For example, the Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz function in a separable Banach space is relaxed submonotone on a residual subset. For example, it is shown that this property need not be valid on the whole space. We prove, under certain hypotheses, the surjectivity of the relaxed monotone mappings.

AbstractGiven an integral functional defined on Lp, 1 ≤ p < ∞, under a growth condition we give an upper bound of the Clarke directional derivative and we obtain a nice inclusion between the Clarke subdifferential of the integral functional and the set of selections of the subdifferential of the integrand.
