Continuity of the value function with respect to the set of constraints

  • Chapter

Abstract

For E a metric space, f:E→ℝ.Ø≠C ⊂ E closed, we consider the value function μ(f,C) = inf{f(c): c ∈ C. One studies the continuity of ?(f,.) by using a family of set convergences recently introduced. “Conversely”, one obtains results concerning these convergences, proving a posteriori the interest of the principle of classification of convergences proposed by Sonntag and Zalinescu (1991a), (1991b).
