Characterizing generalized derivatives of set-valued maps: Extending the   tangential and normal approaches
  For a set-valued map, we characterize, in terms of its (unconvexified or convexified) graphical derivatives near the point of interest, positively homogeneous maps that are generalized derivatives in the sense of [20]. This result generalizes the Aubin criterion in [9]. A second characterization of these generalized derivatives is easier to check in practice, especially in the finite dimensional case. Finally, the third characterization in terms of limiting normal cones and coderivatives generalizes the Mordukhovich criterion in the finite dimensional case. The convexified coderivative has a bijective relationship with the set of possible generalized derivatives. We conclude by illustrating a few applications of our result.
