Second-Order Expansions<br />

First- and Second-Order Expansions<br />

A directionally differentiable function g(x) is second order directionally<br />

differentiable at x in the direction h if the (parabolic) second order directional<br />

derivatives<br />

g ′′ (x,h,w) = lim<br />

t→0 +<br />

g(x +th+ t2<br />

2w)−[g(x)+tg′ (x,h)]<br />

t<br />

exist for all (parabolic) directions w. In that case we can expand<br />

g(x +th+ t2<br />

2 w) for t > 0 as<br />

g(x +th+ t2<br />

2 w) = g(x)+tg′ (x,h)+ t2<br />

2 g′′ (x,h,w)+o(t 2 ).<br />
