Constrained Best Approximation with Nonsmooth Nonconvex Constraints
In this paper, we consider the constraint set of inequalities with
nonsmooth nonconvex constraint functions. We show that under Abadie's
constraint qualification the "perturbation property" of the best approximation
to any in from a convex set \tK:=C \cap K is characterized by the
strong conical hull intersection property (strong CHIP) of and where
is a non-empty closed convex subset of and the set is
represented by
with g_j : \R^n \lrar \R is a tangentially convex
function at a given point By using the idea of tangential
subdifferential and a non-smooth version of Abadie's constraint qualification,
we do this by first proving a dual cone characterization of the constraint set
Moreover, we present sufficient conditions for which the strong CHIP
property holds. In particular, when the set \tK is closed and convex, we show
that the Lagrange multiplier characterization of best approximation holds under
a non-smooth version of Abadie's constraint qualification. The obtained results
extend many corresponding results in the context of constrained best
approximation. Several examples are provided to clarify the results.Comment: 20 pages; MS# 19-041 (2019
