Abstract:
We present a random version of the Borwein-Preiss smooth variational principle, stating that under suitable conditions, the set of minimizers of a perturbed function depending on a random variable, admits a measurable selection. Two applications are given. The first one shows that if $E$ is a superreflexive Banach space, then any convex continuous integral functional on $L^1(T, \mu ; E)$ from a certain class (in particular the usual $L^1$ norm), is weak Hadamard differentiable on a subset whose complement is $\sigma$-very porous. The second application is a random version of the Caristi fixed point theorem for multifunctions.References
