Abstract

In general Banach space setting, we study the perturbed distance function \({d_S^J(\cdot)}\) determined by a closed subset S and a lower semicontinuous function J (·). In particular, we show that the Fréchet subdifferential and the proximal subdifferential of a perturbed distance function are representable by virtue of corresponding normal cones of S and subdifferentials of J (·).
