abstract

In this paper, we establish characterizations of variational $s$-convexity and tilt stability for prox-regular functions in the absence of subdifferential continuity via quadratic bundles, a kind of primal-dual generalized second-order derivatives recently introduced by Rockafellar. Deriving such characterizations in the effective pointbased form requires a certain revision of quadratic bundles investigated below. Our device is based on the notion of generalized twice differentiability and its novel characterization via classical twice differentiability of the associated Moreau envelopes combined with various limiting procedures for functions and sets.

  3. Characterizations of Strong Variational Sufficiency in General Models of Composite Optimization

    math.OC 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For composite optimization problems, strong variational sufficiency is equivalent to a generalized strong second-order sufficient condition and to positive definiteness of a generalized augmented Lagrangian Hessian.
