Abstract
This paper studies some properties associated with a closed convex cone \(\mathcal {K}_{1+}\), which is defined as the epigraph of the \(l_1\) norm function of the metric projection onto the nonnegative orthant. Specifically, this paper presents some properties on variational geometry of \(\mathcal {K}_{1+}\) such as the dual cone, the tangent cone, the normal cone, the critical cone and its convex hull, and others; as well as the differential properties of the metric projection onto \(\mathcal {K}_{1+}\) including the directional derivative, the B-subdifferential, and the Clarke’s generalized Jacobian. These results presented in this paper lay a foundation for future work on sensitivity and stability analysis of the optimization problems over \(\mathcal {K}_{1+}\).
