Directional differentiability of the metric projection in Hilbert space

Dominikus Noll

Vol. 170 (1995), No. 2, 567–592
Abstract

The differentiability properties of the metric projection PC on a closed convex set C in Hilbert space are characterized in terms of the smoothness type of the boundary of C. Our approach is based on using variational type second derivatives as a sufficiently flexible tool to describe the boundary structure of the set C with regard to the differentiability of PC. We extend results by R. B. Holmes and S. Fitzpatrick and R. R. Phelps.
