Beginning within the early Nineteen Eighties, humans utilizing the instruments of nonsmooth research constructed a few amazing nonsmooth extensions of the prevailing severe element concept. earlier, although, nobody had collected those instruments and effects jointly right into a unified, systematic survey of those advances. This publication fills that hole. It offers a whole presentation of nonsmooth severe aspect conception, then is going past it to review nonlinear moment order boundary worth difficulties. The authors don't restrict their remedy to difficulties in variational shape. in addition they research intimately equations pushed by means of the p-Laplacian, its generalizations, and their spectral houses, learning a large choice of difficulties and illustrating the robust instruments of recent nonlinear research. The presentation contains many contemporary effects, together with a few that have been formerly unpublished. certain appendices define the basic mathematical instruments utilized in the ebook, and a wealthy bibliography types a consultant to the appropriate literature. such a lot books addressing severe element idea deal purely with soft difficulties, linear or semilinear difficulties, or ponder purely variational tools or the instruments of nonlinear operators. Nonsmooth severe aspect conception and Nonlinear Boundary price difficulties bargains a complete therapy of the topic that's up to date, self-contained, and wealthy in equipment for a wide selection of difficulties.

1 From the definition we see that ϕ∗ being the supremum of continuous affine functions is itself convex and w∗ -lower semicontinuous, while ϕ∗∗ is convex and lower semicontinuous (also weakly lower semicontinuous). Moreover, ϕ∗∗ ≤ ϕ and if ϕ1 ≤ ϕ2 , then ϕ∗2 ≤ ϕ∗1 . 1, we see that ϕ ∈ Γ0 (X) if and only if ϕ∗ ∈ Γ0 (Xw∗ ∗ ). Here Xw∗ ∗ stands for the dual space X ∗ furnished with the weak∗ -topology. 2, is usually called the Young-Fenchel inequality . 2 If X, Y are two Banach spaces, A ∈ L(X; Y ) is an isomorphism, g : Y −→ R is proper and ϕ(x) = λ0 g(Ax + y0 ) + x∗0 , x X + ϑ0 ∀ x ∈ X, with y0 ∈ Y , x∗0 ∈ X ∗ , ϑ0 ∈ R and λ0 > 0, then ϕ∗ (x∗ ) = λ0 g ∗ PROOF 1 (A∗ )−1 (x∗ − x∗0 ) − x∗ − x∗0 , A−1 y0 λ0 X − ϑ0 .

Mathematical Background 21 then X x −→ (F1 ∩ F2 )(x) ∈ 2Y \ {∅} is h-upper semicontinuous (in fact upper semicontinuous because it is Pk Y -valued). 3 Measurability of Multifunctions We can pass to the measurability of multifunctions. 4(e)). For a multifunction F : Ω −→ 2X we say that: (a) F is measurable if and only if for any open set U ⊆ X, we have df F − (U ) = {ω ∈ Ω : F (ω) ∩ U = ∅} ∈ Σ; (b) F is graph measurable if and only if df Gr F = {(ω, x) ∈ Ω × X : x ∈ F (ω)} ∈ Σ × B(X), with B(X) being the Borel σ-field of X; (c) F is scalarly measurable if and only if for every x∗ ∈ X ∗ , the function Ω ω −→ σX x∗ , F (ω) ∈ R is measurable.

15 If X, Y are Banach spaces, g : X −→ Y is a continuously Gˆ ateaux differentiable function and ψ : Y −→ R is a locally Lipschitz function, then (a) ϕ = ψ ◦ g : X −→ R is locally Lipschitz; df (b) ∂ϕ(x) ⊆ ∂ψ g(x) ◦ g (x) = y ∗ ◦ g (x) : y ∗ ∈ ∂ψ g(x) . Moreover, if ψ (or −ψ) is regular at g(x), then ϕ (or −ϕ) is regular at x and ∂ϕ(x) = ∂ψ g(x) ◦ g (x). PROOF Clearly ϕ is locally Lipschitz. We need to show that ϕ0 (x; h) ≤ max y ∗ , g (x) X : y ∗ ∈ ∂ψ g(x) ∀ h ∈ X. 14 we know that for some y ∈ g(v), g(v + λh) and some y ∗ ∈ ∂ψ(y) we have | y ∗ , g(v + λh) − g(v) |ϕ(v + λh) − ϕ(v)| = λ λ X | ∈ conv g [v, v + λh] , where the last inclusion is a consequence of the classical Mean Value Theorem.
