Implicit Functions and Solution Mappings in Variational Analysis

Abstract: In traditional mathematics, problems could generally be posed as solving equations, and the question of how a solution might depend on parameters was answered by the classical implicit function theorem. Nowadays, the concept of a problem is much richer and can involve more than just equations. Problem models in terms of optimization, equilibrium, and variational inequalities are important in many applications, for instance. The same question arises of dependence of solutions on parameters, but finding the answers has been the subject of much research.

In 1980, S.M. Robinson published a powerful theorem about solutions to parameterized variational inequalities which, in particular, could represent the first-order optimality conditions in a nonlinear programming problem dependent on parameters. His result covered much of the classical implicit function theorem, if not quite all, but it went far beyond that in ideas and format. It was a landmark in demonstrating how questions of importance in optimization could breath new life into traditional topics in mathematics.

Advances in variational analysis now allow Robinson's theorem to be extended to "generalized equations" much broader than variational inequalities. His notion of first-order approximations can be utilized in the absence of differentiability in describing the effects of perturbations of the parameters. However, even looser forms of approximation are able to furnish significant information about the behavior of solutions.
