Abstract

In this paper we discuss second-order properties of the Moreau-Yosida regularization F of a piece-wise twice continuously differentiable convex function f. We introduce a new constraint qualification in order to prove that the gradient of F is piecewise continuously differentiable. In addition, we discuss conditions, depending on the Hessians of the pieces, that guarantee positive definiteness of the generalized Jacobians of the gradient of F.
