Abstract

It is shown that various first and second order derivatives of the Fitzpatrick and Penot representative functions for a maximal monotone operator T, in a reflexive Banach space, can be used to represent differential information associated with the tangent and normal cones to the Graph T. In particular we obtain formula for the proto-derivative, as well as its polar, the normal cone to the graph of T. First order derivatives are shown to be useful in recognising points of single-valuedness of T. We show that a strong form of proto-differentiability to the graph of T, is often associated with single valuedness of T.
