The conditions require an asymptotically bounded decay of a function, a relaxation of p-supercoercivity, and a certain relation for the asymptotic cone of the constraint set and the asymptotic function of the objective function. Our analysis combines these conditions with a regularization technique. We refine the notion of retractive directions of a set, extend its definition to functions, and establish some basic relations for such directions for both sets and functions. Using these tools, we provide existence of solutions results that generalize many of the results in the literature for both nonconvex and convex problems.
