The kurdyka–łojasiewicz inequality is a mathematical result that provides a relationship between the behavior of a proper lower semi-continuous function near its critical points and its subdifferential. It plays a crucial role in optimization and variational analysis, particularly in infinite-dimensional spaces, by establishing the existence of solutions and convergence properties of algorithms used for minimizing such functions.
