Abstract

It is shown that for some classes of functions all epiderivatives and subdifferentials of F.H.Clarke type and P.Michel--J.-P.Penot type and others coincide. Several rules of calculation of subdifferentials for the difference of two convex functions are obtained. Some examples are considered.
