Abstract

We derive a nonconvex separation theorem for multifunctions that generalizes an early result of Borwein and Jofré and show that this result is equivalent to several other subdifferential calculus results in smooth Banach spaces. Then we apply this nonconvex separation theorem to improve a second welfare theorem in economics and a necessary optimality condition for a multi-objective optimization problem
