Some notes on weak subdifferential

Some necessary conditions for having nonempty weak subdifferential of a function are presented and the positively homogeneous of the weak subdifferential operator is proved. Necessary and sufficient conditions for achieving a global minimum of a weak subdifferentiable function is stated, as well as a link between subdifferential and the Fr?chet differential with a weak subdifferential. A result about the equality of the fuzzy sum rule inclusion is also investigated. Finally, some examples are included.

Weak Subdifferential in Nonsmooth Analysis and Optimization

Some properties of the weak subdifferential are considered in this paper. By using the definition and properties of the weak subdifferential which are described in the papers (Azimov and Gasimov, 1999; Kasimbeyli and Mammadov, 2009; Kasimbeyli and Inceoglu, 2010), the author proves some theorems connecting weak subdifferential in nonsmooth and nonconvex analysis. It is also obtained necessary optimality condition by using the weak subdifferential in this paper.
