Xiaoqi Yang: Lipschitz-like property relative to a set and the generalized Mordukhovich criterion

Abstract: In this paper we will establish some necessary condition and sufficient condition respectively for a set-valued mapping to have the Lipschitz-like property relative to a closed set by employing regular normal cone and limiting normal cone of a restricted graph of the set-valued mapping. We will obtain a complete characterization for a set-valued mapping to have the Lipschitz-property relative to a closed and convex set by virtue of the projection of the coderivative onto a tangent cone. Furthermore, by introducing a projectional coderivative of set-valued mappings, we establish a verifiable generalized Mordukhovich criterion for the Lipschitz-like property relative to a closed and convex set. We will study the representation of the graphical modulus of a set-valued mapping relative to a closed and convex set by using the outer norm of the corresponding projectional coderivative value. For an extended real-valued function, we will apply the obtained results to investigate its Lipschitz continuity relative to a closed and convex set and the Lipschitz-like property of a level-set mapping relative to a half line.
