Generalized Differentiation and Characterizations for Differentiability of Infimal Convolutions
This paper is devoted to the study of generalized differentiation properties
of the infimal convolution. This class of functions covers a large spectrum of
nonsmooth functions well known in the literature. The subdifferential formulas
obtained unify several known results and allow us to characterize the
differentiability of the infimal convolution which plays an important role in
variational analysis and optimization
