Stationarity and Regularity of Real-Valued Functions

Alexander Kruger (a.krugerballarat.edu.au)

Abstract: Different stationarity and regularity concepts for extended real-valued functions on metric spaces are considered in the paper. The properties are characterized in terms of certain local constants. A classification scheme for stationarity/regularity constants and corresponding concepts is proposed. The relations between different constants are established.
