In this note we show that a subgradient multifunction of a locally compactly Lip-schitzian mapping satisfies a closure condition used extensively in optimisation theory. In addition we derive a chain rule applicable in either separable or reflexive Banach spaces for the class of locally compactly Lipschitzian mappings using a recently derived generalised Jacobian. We apply these results to the derivation of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker and Fritz John optimality conditions for general abstract cone-constrained programming problems. A discussion of constraint qualifications is undertaken in this setting.
