On the Aubin property of a class of parameterized variational systems

The paper deals with a new sharp criterion ensuring the Aubin property of solution maps to a class of parameterized variational systems. This class includes parameter-dependent variational inequalities with non-polyhedral constraint sets and also parameterized generalized equations with conic constraints. The new criterion requires computation of directional limiting coderivatives of the normal-cone mapping for the so-called critical directions. The respective formulas have the form of a second-order chain rule and extend the available calculus of directional limiting objects. The suggested procedure is illustrated by means of examples.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figur

Metric Regularity of the Sum of Multifunctions and Applications

In this work, we use the theory of error bounds to study metric regularity of the sum of two multifunctions, as well as some important properties of variational systems. We use an approach based on the metric regularity of epigraphical multifunctions. Our results subsume some recent results by Durea and Strugariu.Comment: Submitted to JOTA 37 page
