Abstract

We show that a locally Lipschitz homeomorphism function is semismooth at a given point if and only if its inverse function is semismooth at its image point. We present a sufficient condition for the semismoothness of solutions to generalized equations over cone reducible (nonpolyhedral) convex sets. We prove that the semismoothness of solutions to the Moreau-Yosida regularization of a lower semicontinuous proper convex function is implied by the semismoothness of the metric projector over the epigraph of the convex function.
