Abstract

In this paper, we examine the properly twice epi-differentiability and compute the second order epi-subderivative of the indicator function to a class of sets including the finite union of parabolically derivable and parabolically regular sets. In this way, we provide no-gap second order optimality conditions for a disjunctive constrained problem. Moreover, we derive applications of our results to some types of disjunctive programs.
