报告摘要：
Consider a semi-algebraic function f: R^N->R, which is continuous around a point \bar{x}. Using the so-called tangency variety of f at \bar{x}, we first provide necessary and sufficient conditions for \bar{x} to be a local minimizer of f, and then in the case where \bar{x} is an isolated local minimizer of f, we define a ``tangency exponent'' \alpha_*>0 so that for any \alpha the following four conditions are always equivalent:
1) the inequality \alpha>\alpha_* holds;
2) the point \bar{x} is an \alpha-order sharp local minimizer of f
3) the limiting subdifferential \partial f of f is (\alpha-1)-order strongly metrically subregular at \bar{x} for 0; and
4) the function f satisfies the Lojaseiwcz gradient inequality at \bar{x} with the exponent 1-1/(\alpha).
Besides, we also present a counterexample to a conjecture posed by Drusvyatskiy and Ioffe in [Math. Program. Ser. A, 153(2):635--653, 2015].
