“…This property is proved to closely relate with error bounds, linear regularity, and basic constraint qualification (BCQ) in optimization and have a huge range of applications in areas of variational analysis and mathematical programming like optimality conditions, variational inequalities, subdifferential theory, the sensitivity analysis of generalized equations and convergence analysis of algorithms for solving equations or inclusions. For these reasons, the concept of the metric subregularity has been extensively studied by many authors (see, e.g., [9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17] and the references therein).…”
