Abstract
For a general normed vector space, a special optimal value function called a maximal time function is considered. This covers the farthest distance function as a special case, and has a close relationship with the smallest enclosing ball problem. Some properties of the maximal time function are proven, including the convexity, the lower semicontinuity, and the exact characterizations of its subdifferential formulas.
期刊介绍:
Acta Mathematica Scientia was founded by Prof. Li Guoping (Lee Kwok Ping) in April 1981.
The aim of Acta Mathematica Scientia is to present to the specialized readers important new achievements in the areas of mathematical sciences. The journal considers for publication of original research papers in all areas related to the frontier branches of mathematics with other science and technology.
