In this paper, our focus lies on the study of the second-order variational analysis of orthogonally invariant matrix functions. It is well-known that an orthogonally invariant matrix function is an extended-real-value function defined on…
Codifferentials and coexhausters are used to describe nonhomogeneous approximations of a nonsmooth function. Despite the fact that coexhausters are modern generalizations of codifferentials, the theories of these two concepts continue to…
