Abstract:
This paper studies local and global error bounds for an inequality defined by a proper function without assuming lower semicontinuity. The relationship between error bounds of the given function and its closure is established through ``bridge" theorems. The equal closure property is introduced and shown to be critical in this establishment. Applying the bridge theorems to exterior characterizations valid for a lower semicontinuous function, one can obtain characterizations for a proper function.
