Abstract:
In the work, we consider a constraint system of a finite dimensional optimization problem defined with an operator and closed sets. The operator is assumed to be merely continuous. Under a constraint qualification, we give a straightforward proof for a representation of normal vectors to the feasible region. Then metric regularity of the constraint system are obtained by the formula. Moreover the rate of metric regularity is estimated.
