Abstract
This article presents a systematic study of partial second-order subdifferentials for extended-real-valued functions, which have already been applied to important issues of variational analysis and constrained optimization in finite-dimensional spaces. The main results concern developing extended calculus rules for these second-order constructions in both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional frameworks. We also provide new applications of partial second-order subdifferentials to Lipschitzian stability of stationary point mappings in parametric constrained optimization and discuss some other applications.
