Abstract: We show, largely using convex examples, that most of the core results for limiting subdifferential calculus fail without additional restrictions in infinite dimensional Banach spaces.

Keywords: Nonsmooth analysis, subdifferentials, coderivatives, extremal principle, open mapping theorem, metric regularity, multiplier rules, compactly Lipschitzian conditions

Classification (MSC2000): 26B05
