On derivative criteria for metric regularity Asen L. Dontchev and H´el`ene Frankowska

Abstract We give a simple self-contained proof of the equality which links directly the graphical derivative and coderivative criteria for metric regularity. Then we present a sharper form of the criterion for strong metric regularity involving the paratingent derivative.

1 Introduction In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is as follows. Theorem 1. Let F : Rn ⇒ Rm be a set-valued map, let y¯ ∈ F(x) ¯ and assume that gph F is locally closed at (x, ¯ y) ¯ . Then lim sup kDF(x|y)−1 k− = kD∗ F(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 k+ .

The quantity on the left side of (1) involves the inner norm of the graphical derivative and the condition that it is finite is the so-called derivative criterion for metric regularity. The quantity on the right side is the outer norm of the coderivative and it is well known that F is metrically regular if and only if this quantity is finite. The graphical derivative and the coderivative are defined in further lines. In the case when F is metrically regular both quantities in (1) are equal to the regularity

modulus of F. The reader can find these criteria and much more in the books [2], [6], [8] and [9]. Recall that F is said to be metrically regular at x¯ for y¯ when y¯ ∈ F(x) ¯ and there is a constant κ > 0 together with neighborhoods U of x¯ and V of y¯ such that d(x, F −1 (y)) ≤ κ d(y, F(x)) for all (x, y) ∈ U ×V. The infimum of κ over all combinations of κ , U and V is called the regularity modulus and denoted by reg(F; x| ¯ y). ¯ Clearly, the equality (1) follows immediately from the combination of the derivative and coderivative criteria for metric regularity. In this paper we give a direct proof of (1) using a rather elementary duality argument without referring to metric regularity. This proof employs the approach used to prove basically the same result in [7]; however, the proof given here is simpler and, most importantly, self-contained. It may be used in an alternative proof of the coderivative criterion provided that derivative criterion is already proven, and vice versa. Our second result is a derivative criterion for strong metric regularity. Recall that a mapping F : Rn ⇒ Rm is strongly metrically regular at x¯ for y¯ when there exist neighborhoods U of x¯ and V of y¯ such that the localization V 3 y 7→ F −1 (y) ∩U of the inverse mapping F −1 around (y, ¯ x) ¯ is a Lipschitz continuous function. Theorem 2. Consider a set-valued mapping F : Rn ⇒ Rm and (x, ¯ y) ¯ ∈ gph F . If F is strongly metrically regular at x¯ for y¯, then kPF(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 k+ < ∞.

Furthermore, if the graph of F is locally closed at (x, ¯ y) ¯ and x¯ ∈ Liminf F −1 (y), y→y¯

(3)

then condition (2) is also sufficient for strong metric regularity of F at x¯ for y¯. In this case the quantity on the left side of (2) equals reg(F; x| ¯ y). ¯ Here PF(x|y) denotes the paratingent derivative which we define below. Theorem 2 sharpens [9, Theorem 9.54], where it is assumed that the mapping F −1 has a local continuity property around (y, ¯ x) ¯ which is much stronger than (3). It also improves [8, Lemma 3.1], where another condition, again stronger than (3), is used. Let us briefly introduce the notation and terminology used in the paper. The closed ball with center x and radius r is denoted by IBr (x); the closed unit ball is IB. We denote by k · k the Euclidean norm and by h·, ·i the usual inner product. The Painlev´e-Kuratowski lower and upper limits are denoted by Liminf and Limsup, respectively. A set C is said to be locally closed at x ∈ C when there exists r > 0 such that the set C ∩ IBr (x) is closed. For a set C ⊂ Rn , a tangent vector v to C at x ∈ C, written v ∈ TC (x), is a vector for which there exist sequences vk → v and tk → 0+ such that x +tk vk ∈ C. The set of tangents, TC (x), is a closed cone, named the tangent cone. A paratingent vector w to C at x ∈ C, written w ∈ PC (x), is a vector for which there exist sequences xk ∈ C, xk → x, tk → 0+ and vk → v such that xk + tk vk ∈ C.

Clearly, TC (x) ⊂ PC (x). The polar K ∗ to the cone K consists of all vectors y such that hy, xi ≤ 0 for all x ∈ K. As is well known, K ∗∗ = clco K; here and later “clco” means closed convex hull. The regular normal cone to a set C at a point x ∈ C, denoted Nˆ C (x), is defined as the polar TC∗ (x) to the tangent cone to C at x. A vector w is a generalized normal to C at x, written w ∈ NC (x), when there are sequences uk → w and xk → x, xk ∈ C such that uk ∈ Nˆ C (xk ). The set of generalized normals NC (x) is the general normal cone to C at x. That is, NC (x) = Limsup Nˆ C (y) ⊃ Nˆ C (x). y→x, y∈C

Consider a mapping F : Rn ⇒ Rm and denote by gph F its graph defined by gph F := {(x, y) | y ∈ F(x)}. For a pair (x, y) with y ∈ F(x), recall that the graphical (also called contingent) derivative of F at x for y is the mapping DF(x|y) : Rn ⇒ Rm whose graph is the tangent cone Tgph F (x, y) to gph F at (x, y): v ∈ DF(x|y)(u) ⇔ (u, v) ∈ Tgph F (x, y). The coderivative of F at x for y is the mapping D∗ F(x|y) : Rm ⇒ Rn whose graph is defined by the general normal cone Ngph F (x, y) to gph F at (x, y) in the following way : q ∈ D∗ F(x|y)(p) ⇔ (q, −p) ∈ Ngph F (x, y). Finally, the paratingent derivative of F at x for y is the mapping PF(x|y) : Rn ⇒ Rm whose graph is the paratingent cone Pgph F (x, y) to gph F at (x, y): v ∈ PF(x|y)(u) ⇔ (u, v) ∈ Pgph F (x, y). Both the tangent and the paratingent cones were introduced by Bouligand in 1930s. Further discussion on tangent cones and graphical derivatives can be found for instance in [2]. The paratingent derivative is called in [9] the strict graphical derivative and in [8] it is called Thibault’s limit set. Directly from the definition we have DF −1 (y|x) = DF(x|y)−1 and the same for the coderivative and the paratingent derivative. A mapping H : Rn ⇒ Rm is said to be positively homogeneous if its graph is a cone with vertex at zero. For any positively homogeneous mapping H, the outer norm and the inner norm are defined, respectively, by +

kHk = sup sup kyk kxk≤1 y∈H(x)

and



kHk = sup

inf kyk

kxk≤1 y∈H(x)

with the convention infy∈0/ kyk = ∞ and supy∈0/ kyk = −∞. The inner norm can be also defined as ¯ n o ¯ − kHk = inf κ > 0 ¯ H(x) ∩ κ IB 6= 0/ for all x ∈ IB , (4) while the outer norm satisfies

¯ n o ¯ + kHk = inf κ > 0 ¯ y ∈ H(x) ⇒ kyk ≤ κ kxk .

If H has closed graph, then furthermore kHk+ < ∞ ⇔ H(0) = {0}. The notation and terminology used in the paper are mainly from [6].

2 Proof of Theorem 1. In the proof of Theorem 1 we employ the following lemma whose proof is presented after the proof of the theorem. Lemma 1. Let C be a convex and compact set in Rd , K ⊂ Rd be a closed set and x¯ ∈ K . Then C ∩ TK (x) 6= 0/ for all x ∈ K near x¯ if and only if C ∩ clco TK (x) 6= 0/ for all x ∈ K near x¯. Proof (of Theorem 1). Since the graphical derivative and the coderivative are defined only locally around (x, ¯ y), ¯ we can assume without loss of generality that the graph of the mapping F is closed. We will show first that lim sup kDF(x|y)−1 k− ≥ kD∗ F(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 k+ .

(6)

(x,y)→(x, ¯ y), ¯ (x,y)∈gph F

If the left side of (6) equals +∞ there is nothing to prove. Let a positive constant c satisfy c > lim sup kDF(x|y)−1 k− . (x,y)→(x, ¯ y), ¯ (x,y)∈gph F

From (4) there exists δ > 0 such that for all (x, y) ∈ gph F ∩ (IBδ (x) ¯ × IBδ (y)) ¯ and for every v ∈ IB there exists u ∈ DF(x|y)−1 (v) such that kuk < c. Also, note that ∗∗ (x, y). (u, v) ∈ Tgph F (x, y) ⊂ clco Tgph F (x, y) = Tgph F Fix (x, y) ∈ gph F ∩ (IBδ (x) ¯ × IBδ (y)) ¯ and let v ∈ IB ⊂ Rm . Then there exists u with ∗∗ (x, y) such that u = cw for some w ∈ IB. Let (p, q) ∈ N ˆ gph F (x, y) = (u, v) ∈ Tgph F ∗ Tgph F (x, y). From the inequality hu, pi + hv, qi ≤ 0 we get c minhw, pi + hv, qi ≤ 0 which yields − ckpk + hv, qi ≤ 0. w∈IB

Since v is arbitrarily chosen in IB, we conclude that kqk ≤ ckpk

whenever

(p, q) ∈ Nˆ gph F (x, y).

(7)

Now, let (p, q) ∈ Ngph F (x, ¯ y); ¯ then there exist sequences (xk , yk ) ∈ gph F, (xk , yk ) → (x, ¯ y) ¯ and (pk , qk ) ∈ Nˆ gph F (xk , yk ) such that (pk , qk ) → (p, q). But then, from (7), kqk k ≤ ckpk k and in the limit kqk ≤ ckpk. Thus, kqk ≤ ckpk whenever (−p, q) ∈ Ngph F (x, ¯ y) ¯ and therefore we have kqk ≤ ckpk whenever (q, −p) ∈ Ngph F −1 (y, ¯ x). ¯ By the definition of the coderivative, kqk ≤ ckpk

whenever

q ∈ D∗ F(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 (p).

This together with (5) implies that c ≥ kD∗ F(x, y)−1 k+ and we obtain (6) by the arbitrariness of c. For the converse inequality, it is enough to consider the case kD∗ F(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 k+ < ∞. Let c > kD∗ F(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 k+ . (8) We first show that there exists δ > 0 such that for any (x, y) ∈ gph F ∩ (IBδ (x) ¯ × IBδ (y)) ¯ we have that (0, v) ∈ Nˆ gph F (x, y) =⇒

v = 0.

(9)

On the contrary, assume that there exist sequences (xk , yk ) ∈ gph F with (xk , yk ) → (x, ¯ y) ¯ and vk ∈ Rm with kvk k = 1 such that (0, vk ) ∈ Nˆ gph F (xk , yk ) for all k. But then there is v 6= 0 such that (0, v) ∈ Ngph F (x, ¯ y). ¯ Hence, there exists a nonzero v such that v ∈ D∗ F(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 (0). Taking into account (5), this contradicts (8). Using (9), we will now prove a statement more general than (9), that there exists δ > 0 such that for any (x, y) ∈ gph F ∩ (IBδ (x) ¯ × IBδ (y)) ¯ we have (v, −u) ∈ Nˆ gph F −1 (y, x) =⇒ kvk ≤ ckuk.

(10)

On the contrary, assume that there exists a sequence (yk , xk ) → (y, ¯ x) ¯ such that for each k we can find (vk , −uk ) ∈ Nˆ gph F −1 (yk , xk ) satisfying kvk k > ckuk k. If uk = 0 for some k, then from (9) we get vk = 0, a contradiction. Thus, without loss of generality we assume that kuk k = 1. Let vk be unbounded and let w be a cluster point of kv1 k vk ; k then kwk = 1. Since ( 1 vk , − 1 uk ) ∈ Nˆ gph F −1 (yk , xk ), passing to the limit we get kvk k

kvk k

(w, 0) ∈ Ngph F −1 (y, ¯ x) ¯ which contradicts (8) because of (5). Further, if vk is bounded, then (vk , uk ) → (v, u) for a subsequence, where kuk = 1, (v, −u) ∈ Ngph F −1 (y, ¯ x), ¯ and kvk ≥ c. This again contradicts (8). Thus, (10) holds for all (y, x) ∈ gph F −1 close to (y, ¯ x). ¯ ¯ × IBδ (y)). ¯ Let δ > 0 be such that (10) is satisfied for any (x, y) ∈ gph F ∩ (IBδ (x) Pick such (x, y). We will show that ∗∗ (cIB × {w}) ∩ Tgph / F (x, y) 6= 0

for every w ∈ IB.

(11)

∗∗ (x, y) = On the contrary, assume that there exists w ∈ IB such that (cIB × {w}) ∩ Tgph F 0. / Then, by the theorem on separation of convex sets, there exists a nonzero (p, q) ∈ ∗ ˆ Tgph F (x, y) = Ngph F (x, y) such that

minhp, cui + hq, wi > 0. u∈IB

If p = 0, then q 6= 0 and then (q, 0) ∈ Nˆ gph F −1 (y, x) in contradiction with (10). Hence, p 6= 0. Without loss of generality, let kpk = 1. Then (q, p) ∈ Nˆ gph F −1 (y, x) and hq, wi > maxhp, cui = ckpk = c. u∈IB

(12)

By (5) and (10), kqk ≤ c and since w ∈ IB, this contradicts (12). Thus, (11) is satisfied. By Lemma 1, for all (x, y) ∈ gph F sufficiently close to (x, ¯ y), ¯ we have that (11) ∗∗ (x, y) = clco T holds when the set Tgph (x, y) is replaced with Tgph F (x, y). This gph F F −1 means that for any w ∈ IB there exists u ∈ DF(x|y) (w) such that kuk ≤ c. But then c ≥ kDF(x|y)−1 k− for all (x, y) ∈ gph F sufficiently close to (x, ¯ y). ¯ This combined with the arbitrarines of c in (8) implies the inequality opposite to (6) and hence the proof of the theorem if complete. t u Proof. Clearly, C ∩ TK (x) 6= 0/ implies C ∩ clco TK (x) 6= 0. / Assume that there exists an open neighborhood U of x¯ such that C ∩ clco TK (x) 6= 0/ for all x ∈ K ∩ U. Let ε > 0 be such that IBε (x) ¯ ⊂ U. Take any x ∈ IBε /3 (x)and ¯ let v be a projection of x on K. Then kv − xk ≤ kx¯ − xk ≤ ε /3 and hence, kv − xk ¯ ≤ kv − xk + kx − xk ¯ ≤ ε /3 + ε /3 < ε . Thus, there exists an open neighborhood W of x¯ such that any metric projection of a point x ∈ W on K belongs to K ∩U. Fix x ∈ K ∩W . For all t ≥ 0 define ϕ (t) := min{ku − vk | u ∈ x +tC, v ∈ K}. The function ϕ is Lipschitz continuous. Indeed, for any ti ≥ 0, i = 1, 2 there exist ci ∈ C and ki ∈ K such that ϕ (ti ) = kx + ti ci − ki k, i = 1, 2. Then

ϕ (t1 ) − ϕ (t2 ) = kx + t1 c1 − k1 k − kx + t2 c2 − k2 k ≤ kx + t1 c2 − k2 k − kx + t2 c2 − k2 k ≤ kc2 k|t1 − t2 |. Hence ϕ is absolutely continuous, that is, its derivative ϕ 0 exists almost everywhere Rs 0 and ϕ (s) = ϕ (t) + t ϕ (τ )d τ for all s ≥ t ≥ 0. We will prove next that

ϕ (t) = 0

for all sufficiently small

t > 0.

(13)

If this holds, then for every small t > 0 there exists vt ∈ C such that x + tvt ∈ K. Consider sequences tk → 0+ and vtk ∈ C such that vtk converges to some v. Then v ∈ TK (x) ∩C and since x ∈ K ∩W is arbitrary, we arrive at the claim of the lemma. To prove (13), let γ > 0 be such that x + [0, γ ]C ⊂ W . Assume that there exists t0 ∈ (0, γ ] such that ϕ (t0 ) > 0. Define t¯ = max{t | ϕ (t) = 0 and 0 ≤ t < t0 }. Let t ∈ (t¯,t0 ] be such that ϕ 0 (t) exists. Then for some vt ∈ C and xt ∈ K we have ϕ (t) = kx + tvt − xt k > 0. Since xt is a projection of x + tvt on K, by the observation in the beginning of the proof we have xt ∈ K ∩ U. By assumption, there exists wt ∈ clco TK (xt ) such that wt ∈ C. Then, for any h > 0 sufficiently small, µ ¶ t h x + tvt + hwt = x + (t + h) vt + wt ∈ x + (t + h)C ⊂ W t +h t +h because the set C is assumed convex. Thus

ϕ (t + h) − ϕ (t) ≤ kx + tvt + hwt − xt k − kx + tvt − xt k.

Dividing both sides of this inequality by h > 0 and passing to the limit when h → 0+ , we get ¿ À x + tvt − xt ϕ 0 (t) ≤ , wt . (14) kx + tvt − xt k Recall that xt is a projection of x + tvt on K and also the elementary fact that in this case x +tvt − xt ∈ Nˆ K (xt ), see Proposition 4.1.2 in [2] or Example 6.16 in [9]. Since wt ∈ clco TK (xt ), we obtain from (14) that ϕ 0 (t) ≤ 0. Having in mind that t is any point of differentiability of ϕ in (t¯,t0 ), we get ϕ (t0 ) ≤ ϕ (t¯) = 0. This contradicts the choice of t0 according to which ϕ (t0 ) > 0. Hence (13) holds and the lemma is proved. t u We note that more general versions of Lemma 1 are proved in [3] and [4]. At the end of this section, we add the following corollary which is a simple consequence of the proof of Theorem 1 and recovers the last part of Theorem 1.2 in [5] and the first part of Theorem 4.3 in [1]. For a mapping F : Rn ⇒ Rm and a pair (x, y) with y ∈ F(x), recall that the convexified graphical derivative of F at x for y ˜ is the mapping DF(x|y) : Rn ⇒ Rm whose graph is the closed convex hull of the tangent cone Tgph F (x, y) to gph F at (x, y): ˜ v ∈ DF(x|y)(u) ⇔ (u, v) ∈ clco Tgph F (x, y). Corollary 1. Let F : Rn ⇒ Rm be a set-valued map, let y¯ ∈ F(x) ¯ and assume that gph F is locally closed at (x, ¯ y) ¯ . Then −1 − ˜ lim sup kDF(x|y) k = kD∗ F −1 (y| ¯ x)k ¯ +. (x,y)→(x, ¯ y), ¯ (x,y)∈gph F

−1 (v) ⊃ DF(x|y)−1 (v) we obtain kDF(x|y) −1 k− ≤ kDF(x|y)−1 k− . ˜ ˜ Proof. Since DF(x|y) Thus, from (1), −1 − ˜ lim sup kDF(x|y) k ≤ kD∗ F −1 (y| ¯ x)k ¯ +. (x,y)→(x, ¯ y) ¯ (x,y)∈gph F

The converse inequality follows from the fist part of the proof of Theorem 1, by limiting the argument to the convexified graphical derivative. t u

3 Proof of Theorem 2. Proposition 3G.1 in [6] says that a mapping F is strongly metrically regular at x¯ for y¯ if and only if it is metrically regular there and F −1 has a localization around (y, ¯ x) ¯ which is nowhere multi-valued. Furthermore, in this case for any c > reg(F; x| ¯ y) ¯ there exists a neighborhood V of y¯ such that F −1 has a localization around (y, ¯ x) ¯ which is a Lipschitz continuous function on V with constant c.

Let F be strongly metrically regular at x¯ for y, ¯ let c > reg(F; x| ¯ y) ¯ and let U and V be open neighborhoods of x¯ and y, ¯ respectively, such that the localization V 3 y 7→ ϕ (y) := F −1 (y) ∩ U is a Lipschitz continuous function on V with a Lipschitz constant c. We will show first that for any v ∈ Rm the set PF(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 (v) is nonempty. m Let v ∈ R . Since dom ϕ ⊃ V , we can choose sequences tk → 0+ and uk such that x¯ + tk uk = ϕ (y¯ + tk v) for large k. Then, from the Lipschitz continuity of ϕ with Lipschitz constant c we conclude that kuk k ≤ ckvk, hence uk has a cluster point u which, by definition, is from PF(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 (v). Now choose any v ∈ Rm and u ∈ −1 PF(x| ¯ y) ¯ (v); then there exist sequences (xk , yk ) ∈ gph F, (xk , yk ) → (x, ¯ y), ¯ tk → 0+ , uk → u and vk → v such that yk + tk vk ∈ V , xk = ϕ (yk ) and xk + tk uk = ϕ (yk + tk vk ) for k sufficiently large. But then, again from the Lipschitz continuity of ϕ with Lipschitz constant c, we obtain that kuk k ≤ ckvk k. Passing to the limit we conclude that kuk ≤ ckvk which implies that kPF(x| ¯ y) ¯ −1 k+ ≤ c. Hence (2) is satisfied. To prove the second statement, we first show that F −1 has a single-valued bounded localization, that is there exist a bounded neighborhood U of x¯ and a neighborhood V of y¯ such that V 3 y 7→ F −1 (y) ∩ U is single valued. On the contrary, assume that for any bounded neighborhood U of x¯ and any neighborhood V of y¯ the intersection gph F −1 ∩ (V × U) is the graph of a multi-valued mapping. This means that there exist sequences εk → 0+ , xk → x, ¯ xk0 → x, ¯ xk 6= xk0 for all k such 0 0 that F(xk ) ∩ F(xk ) ∩ IBεk (y) ¯ 6= 0/ for all k. Let tk = kxk − xk k and let uk = (xk − xk0 )/tk . Then tk → 0 and kuk k = 1 for all k. Hence {uk } has a cluster point u 6= 0. Consider any yk ∈ F(xk ) ∩ F(xk0 ) ∩ IBεk (y). ¯ Then, yk + tk 0 ∈ F(xk0 + tk uk ) for all k. By the definition of the paratingent derivative, 0 ∈ PF(x, ¯ y)(u). ¯ Hence kPF(x, ¯ y) ¯ −1 k+ = ∞ by (5), which contradicts (2). Thus, there exist neighborhoods U of x¯ and V of y¯ such that ϕ (y) := F −1 (y) ∩ U is at most single-valued on V and U is bounded. By (3), there exists a neighborhood V 0 ⊂ V of y¯ such that F −1 (y) ∩ U 6= 0/ for any y ∈ V 0 , hence V 0 ⊂ dom ϕ . Further, since gph F is locally closed at (x, ¯ y) ¯ and ϕ is bounded, there exists an open neighborhood V 00 ⊂ V 0 of y¯ such that ϕ is a continuous function on V 00 . From the definition of the paratingent cone we deduce that the set-valued map (x, y) 7→ PF(x, y) has closed graph. We claim that condition (2) implies that lim sup kPF(x|y)−1 k+ < ∞.

(15)

(x,y)→(x, ¯ y), ¯ (x,y)∈gph F

On the contrary, assume that there exist sequences (xk , yk ) ∈ gph F converging to (x, ¯ y), ¯ vk ∈ IB and uk ∈ PF(xk |yk )−1 (vk ) such that kuk k > kkvk k. Case 1: There exists a subsequence vki = 0 for all ki . Since gph PF(xki |yki )−1 is a cone, we may assume that kuki k = 1. Let u be a cluster point of {uki }. Then, passing to the limit we get 0 6= u ∈ PF(x, ¯ y) ¯ −1 (0) which, combined with (5), contradicts (2). Case 2: For all large k, vk 6= 0. Since gph PF(xk |yk )−1 is a cone, we may³ assume ´ that kvk k = 1. Then limk→∞ kuk k = ∞. Define wk := ku1 k uk ∈ PF(xk |yk )−1 ku1 k vk k k and let w be a cluster point of wk . Then, passing to the limit we obtain 0 6= w ∈ PF(x, ¯ y) ¯ −1 (0) which, combined with (5), again contradicts (2).

Hence (15) is satisfied. Therefore, there exists an open neighborhood V˜ ⊂ V 00 of y¯ such that kPF(ϕ (y)|y)−1 k+ < ∞ for all y ∈ V˜ . We will now prove that for every (x, y) ∈ gph F near (x, ¯ y) ¯ and every v ∈ Rm −1 ˜ we have that DF(x, y) (v) 6= 0. / Fix (x, y) ∈ gph F ∩ (U × V ) and v ∈ Rm , and let hk → 0+ ; then there exist uk ∈ Rn such that x+hk uk = F −1 (y+hk v)∩U = ϕ (y+hk v) for all large k and we also have that hk uk → 0 by the continuity of ϕ . Assume that kuk k → ∞ for some subsequence (which is denoted in the same way without loss of generality). Set tk = hk kuk k and wk = ku1 k uk . Then tk → 0+ and, for a further k

subsequence, wk → w for some w with kwk = 1. Since (y + tk ku1 k v, x + tk wk ) ∈ k

gph F −1 we obtain that w ∈ DF(x, y)−1 (0) ⊂ PF(x, y)−1 (0) for some w 6= 0. Thus kPF(x, y)−1 k+ = ∞ contradicting the choice of V˜ . Hence the sequence {uk } cannot be unbounded and since y + hk v ∈ F(x + hk uk ) for all k, any cluster point u of {uk } satisfies u ∈ DF(x, y)−1 (v). Hence DF(x, y)−1 is nonempty-valued. From this and the inclusion DF(x, y)−1 (v) ⊂ PF(x, y)−1 (v) we obtain kDF(x, y)−1 k− ≤ kPF(x, y)−1 k+ .

(16)

Putting together (15) and (16), and utilizing the derivative criterion for metric regularity, that is, the fact that the finiteness of the expression on the left side of (1) implies metric regularity, we obtain that F is metrically regular at x¯ for y. ¯ But since F −1 has a single-valued localization around (y, ¯ x) ¯ we conclude that F is strongly metrically regular at x¯ for y. ¯ The proof is complete.
