Abstract
We derive formulas for the Fréchet (singular) subdiferentials of the bilateral minimal time function
T:Rn×Rn→[0,+∞] associated with a system governed by differential inclusions. As a consequence, we give a connection between the Fréchet normals to the sub-level sets of
T and to its epigraph. Finally, we show that the Fréchet normal cones to the sub-level set of
T at a point
(α,β) and to epi(
T) at
((α,β),T(α,β)) have the same dimension.
