Lagrangian necessary conditions for optimality, of both Fritz John and Kuhn Tucker types, are obtained for a constrained minimization problem, where the functions are locally Lipschitz and have directional derivatives, but need not have linear Gâteaux derivatives; the variable may be constrained to lie in a nonconvex set. The directional derivatives are assumed to have some convexity properties as functions of direction; this generalizes the concept of quasidifferentiable function. The convexity is not required when directional derivatives are replaced by Clarke generalized derivatives. Sufficient Kuhn Tucker conditions, and a criterion for the locally solvable constraint qualification, are obtained for directionally differentiable functions.
