Directional exposed-face outer semicontinuity #
This module packages the subgradient inequalities and compactness wrapper leading to eventual membership in norm thickenings of an exposed face.
Directional monotonicity of subgradients from two supporting inequalities.
If r is a subgradient at y and ps i is a subgradient at xs i, then pairing both
subgradient inequalities with the displacement xs i - y gives
r · (xs i - y) ≤ ps i · (xs i - y). This is the elementary inequality behind
Rockafellar's directional outer-semicontinuity theorem.
Directional closed-graph inequality for subgradients.
Let ps i ∈ ∂u(xs i) and suppose the normalized displacements
‖xs i - y‖⁻¹ • (xs i - y) tend to normal, while ps i tends to q. Then every
base subgradient r ∈ ∂u(y) satisfies
normal · r ≤ normal · q.
This is the Lean-local half-space form of the exposed-face conclusion in Rockafellar's directional outer-semicontinuity step.
A convergent directional family of subgradients lands in the exposed face of the base subdifferential.
Cluster-point version of the directional exposed-face inequality for subgradients.
This is the form needed for the compactness upgrade in Rockafellar's directional
outer-semicontinuity proof: ps need only have q as a cluster point, not as an ordinary
limit.
Compact directional outer-semicontinuity wrapper for moving subgradients.
If moving subgradients ps i ∈ ∂u(xs i) are eventually contained in a compact set K, every
cluster point of ps inside K is a base subgradient at y, and the normalized directions from
y to xs i tend to normal, then the moving subgradients are eventually in every positive
norm-thickening of the exposed face of the base subdifferential.
Compact directional outer-semicontinuity wrapper with the base-subgradient condition supplied by the local closed graph theorem.
This is the local finite-valued analogue of the compact part of Rockafellar's Theorem 24.6: cluster points of the moving subgradients become subgradients at the limit base point, and the directional inequality then puts them in the exposed face.
Gradient-sample form of the compact directional outer-semicontinuity wrapper.
At differentiability points of a convex function, gradient u is a subgradient. Therefore the
moving-subgradient wrapper applies directly to differentiability samples approaching the base
point in the exposing direction.
