We generalise the outer subdifferential construction suggested by Cánovas, Henrion, López and Parra for max type functions to pointwise minima of regular Lipschitz functions. We also answer an open question about the relation between the outer subdifferential of the support of a regular function and the end set of its subdifferential posed by
In this paper, we prove the conjecture of Demyanov and Ryabova on the length of cycles in converting exhausters in an affinely independent setting and obtain a combinatorial reformulation of the conjecture.Given a finite collection of polyhedra, we can obtain its "dual" collection by forming another collection of polyhedra, which are obtained as the convex hull of all support faces of all polyhedra for a given direction in space. If we keep applying this process, we will eventually cycle due to the finiteness of the problem. Demyanov and Ryabova claim that this cycle will eventually reach a length of at most two.We prove that the conjecture is true in the special case, that is, when we have affinely independent number of vertices in the given space. We also obtain an equivalent combinatorial reformulation for the problem, which should advance insight for the future work on this problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
