Abstract
Using convex analysis, this paper gives a systematic and unified treatment for the existence of a globed error bound for a convex inequality system. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a closed convex set defined by a closed proper convex function to possess a globed error bound in terms of a natural residual. We derive many special cases of the main characterization, including the case where a Slater assumption is in place. Our results show clearly the essential conditions needed for convex inequality systems to satisfy global error bounds; they unify and extend a large number of existing results on global error bounds for such systems.1
