Abstract
The main concern of this paper is to investigate the Lipschitzian-like stability property (namely Aubin property) of the solution map of possibly nonmonotone variational systems with composite superpotentials. Using Mordukhovich coderivative criterion and a second-order subdifferential analysis, we provide simple and verifiable characterizations of this property in terms of the data involved in the problem. Applications are given in nonsmooth mechanics.
