Abstract

In Gâteaux or bornologically differentiable spaces there are two natural generalizations of the concept of a Fréchet subderivative. In this paper we study the viscosity subderivative (which is the more robust of the two) and establish refined fuzzy sum rules for it in a smooth Banach space. These rules are applied to obtain comparison results for viscosity solutions of Hamilton--Jacobi equations in smooth spaces. A unified treatment of metric regularity in smooth spaces completes the paper. This illustrates the flexibility of viscosity subderivatives as a tool for analysis.
