This paper is devoted to the study of the links between stationary sequence and minimising sequence for constrained minimisation problems. The constraint set is not supposed to be convex and no differentiability assumption is made on the objective function. New tools are developed in this general framework and we prove a necessary and a sufficient condition for such problems to have a “constrained asymptotical well behaviour” (that is, each stationary sequence is a minimising sequence). Our work extend that of Auslender, Cominetti and Crouzeix.
