Generalized second-order derivatives and optimality conditions. (English) Zbl 0816.49008
This paper is written in the same spirit as the work of R. Cominetti and R. Correa [SIAM J. Control Optimization 28, No. 4, 789-809 (1990; Zbl 0714.49020)], except that now the concept of generalized second-order directional derivative is a little bit different. The author derives a chain rule and a generalized Taylor expansion for functions belonging to the class $$C^{1,1}$$. This new concept of second-order derivative is also used to establish necessary and/or sufficient optimality conditions for $$C^{1,1}$$ optimization problems with or without constraints.
