Abstract

In this paper, in contrast to the literature on the tilt-stability only dealing with local minima, we introduce and study the \(\psi \)-tilt-stable global minimum and stable global \(\varphi \)-well-posedness with \(\psi \) and \(\varphi \) being the so-called admissible functions. We adopt global strong metric regularity of the subdifferential mapping \({{\hat{\partial }}} f\) of the objective function f with respect to an admissible function \(\psi \) and prove that the global strong metric regularity of \(\hat{\partial }f\) at 0 with respect to \(\psi \) implies the stable global \(\varphi \)-well-posedness of f with \(\varphi (t)=\int _0^t\psi (s)ds\) and that if f is convex then the converse implication also holds. Moreover, we establish the relationships between \(\psi \)-tilt-stable global minimum and stable global \(\varphi \)-well-posedness. Our results are new even in the convexity case.
