ON TWO-SIDED UNIDIRECTIONAL MEAN VALUE INEQUALITY IN A FRÉCHET SMOOTH SPACE

Abstract

The paper is devoted to a new unidirectional mean value inequality for the Fréchet subdifferential of a continuous function. This mean value inequality finds an intermediate point and localizes its value both from above and from below; for this reason, the inequality is called two-sided. The inequality is considered for a continuous function defined on a Fréchet smooth space. This class of Banach spaces includes the case of a reflexive space and the case of a separable Asplund space. As some application of these inequalities, we give an upper estimate for the Fréchet subdifferential of the upper limit of continuous functions defined on a reflexive space.
