Graph of a set-valued mapping ($\mathrm{gph}S=\{(u,v):v\in S(u)\}$)

The graph is $\mathrm{gph}S=\{(u,v):v\in S(u)\}$. Local graph normals encode the Mordukhovich coderivative and hence the Aubin property. Graph closedness is a local hypothesis in the sensitivity criterion.

The limiting coderivative is $D^{\ast }S(\bar{u}\mid \bar{v})(v^{\ast })=\{u^{\ast }:(u^{\ast },-v^{\ast })\in N_{\mathrm{gph}S}(\bar{u},\bar{v})\}$. The negative sign on the output dual is essential. For a smooth single-valued function it gives the transpose Jacobian acting on $v^{\ast }$.
