AW-Convergence and Well-Posedness of Non Convex Functions

We consider the set of lower semicontinuous functions defined on a
Banach space, equipped with AW-convergence. A function is called Tikhonov
well-posed provided it has a unique minimizer to which every minimizing
sequence converges. We show that well-posedness of f guarantees strong
convergence of approximate minimizers of taw
-approximating functions (under conditions of equiboundedness of sublevel
sets), to the minimizer of f. Moreover we show that a lower semicontinuous
function f which satisfies growth conditions at infinity is well-posed iff
its lower semicontinuous convex regularization is. Finally we investigate
the link between AW-convergence of non convex integrands and that of the
associated integral functionals.
Keywords: AW-convergence, well-posedness, optimization problems.
