Abstract

We prove that, under the usual constraint qualification and a stability assumption, the generalized gradient set of the marginal function of a differentiable program in a Banach space contains the Lagrange multiplier set. From there, we deduce a sufficient condition in order that, in finite-dimensional spaces, the Lagrange multiplier set be equal to the generalized gradient set of the marginal function.
