Abstract

The class of strongly semicontinuous functions is considered. For these functionsthe notion of mollified derivatives, introduced by Ermoliev, Norkin andWets [8], is extended to the second order. By means of a generalized Taylor'sformula, second order necessary and sufficient conditions are proved forboth unconstrained and constrained optimization. Finally a characterization ofconvex functions is given.
