This derivative is consistent with the classical higher-order Fr\\'echet directional derivative in the sense that both derivatives of the same order coincide if the last one exists. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of order $n$ ($n$ is a positive integer) for a local minimum and isolated local minimum of order $n$ in terms of these derivatives and subdifferentials. We do not require any restrictions on the function in our results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-30T19:40:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49K10", "90C46", "26B05", "26B25" ], "keywords": [ "higher-order optimality conditions", "arbitrary nondifferentiable function", "unconstrained optimization", "higher-order frechet directional derivative", "local minimum" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151109438I" } } }
