Abstract

In this paper we revisit a theorem by Rockafellar on representing the relative interior of the graph of a convex set-valued mapping in terms of the relative interior of its domain and function values. Then we apply this theorem to provide a simple way to prove many calculus rules of generalized differentiation for set-valued mappings and nonsmooth functions in finite dimensions. Using this important theorem by Rockafellar allows us to improve some results on generalized differentiation of set-valued mappings in [13] by replacing the relative interior qualifications on graphs with qualifications on domains and/or ranges.
