Abstract

This paper deals with the Hölder metric subregularity property of a certain constraint system in Asplund space. Using the techniques of variational analysis, its main part is devoted to establish new sufficient conditions in dual spaces for Hölder metric subregularity and estimate its modulus, which are derived in terms of coderivatives and normal cones. As an application, the results are applied to study the relationship between higher order growth condition of an unconstraint minimization problem and Hölder metric subregularity property of the related constraint system.
