Abstract

There are different possibilities to introduce subgradients of set-valued maps. One possible approach is a generalization of the standard definition known from convex analysis (see also Definition 2.21). Another approach is based on a characterization of the subdifferential using directional derivatives (e.g., see [164, Lemma 3.25]). Instead of the directional derivative we now use the contingent epiderivative. Both approaches are presented in this chapter.
