Abstract

We are concerned with the Lipschitz modulus of the optimal set mappingassociated with canonically perturbed convex semi-infinite optimizationproblems. Specifically, the paper provides a lower and an upper bound forthis modulus, both of them given exclusively in terms of the problem's data.Moreover, the upper bound is shown to be the exact modulus when the numberof constraints is finite. In the particular case of linear problems theupper bound (or exact modulus) adopts a notably simplified expression. Ourapproach is based on variational techniques applied to certain difference ofconvex functions related to the model. Some results of [M.J. Cánovas et al., J. Optim. Theory Appl. (2008) Online First](which go back to [M.J. Cánovas, J. Global Optim.41 (2008) 1–13] and [Ioffe, Math. Surveys55 (2000) 501–558; Control Cybern.32 (2003) 543–554])constitute the starting point of the present work.
