Abstract

This paper investigates generalized differentiation of normal cone operators to parametric smooth-boundary sets in Asplund spaces. We obtain formulas for computing the Fréchet and Mordukhovich coderivatives of such normal cone operators. We also give several examples to illustrate how the formulas can be used in practical calculations and applications.
