Title: Sigma-convex functions and Sigma-subdifferentials

Abstract: In this talk we present and study the notion of $\sigma$-subdifferential of a proper function $f$ which contains the Clarke-Rockafellar subdifferential of $f$ under some mild assumptions on $f$.
We show that some well known properties of the convex function, namely Lipschitz property in the interior of its domain, remain valid for the large class of $\sigma$-convex functions.
