Applications of the Fréchet subdifferential

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46A30, 54C60, 90C26.

In this paper we prove two results of nonsmooth analysis involving the Fréchet subdifferential. One of these results provides a necessary optimality condition for an optimization problem which arise naturally from a class of wide studied problems. In the second result we establish a sufficient condition for the metric regularity of a set-valued map without continuity assumptions.
