摘要: 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.

关键词: maximal time function, subdifferential, normal cone, nonsmooth analysis
