Abstract
The aim of this paper is to establish scalar characterizations of minimal, weak minimal and strict minimal solutions in terms of a generalized oriented distance function defined on sets in real normed linear space with respect to a point in the space. Further, we study the lower and upper semicontinuity of the generalized oriented distance function.
