Dec 29, 2021 at 17:48 comment added dohmatob BTW, all these questions and answers about Lipschitzness of normal fields have helped me build a solution to a bigger problem mathoverflow.net/a/412651/78539. Thanks again.
Dec 29, 2021 at 16:54 comment added dohmatob Yes, that's that's the example I was referring to; forgot to link it.
Dec 29, 2021 at 16:50 comment added Dustin G. Mixon Indeed, the necessary condition rigorizes my comment here: mathoverflow.net/questions/412663/…
Dec 29, 2021 at 16:31 comment added dohmatob Ok, in that case, your necessary condition would explain why a polytope with at least one face of positive-codimension fails to have Lipschitz $u_C$. This is particularly easy to see in the pathological case where $C=\{0\}$, for example. Indeed, one computes $(C-0)^\circ = \{0\}^\circ = \mathbb R^n$ which is $n$-dimensional! Generalizing to other polytopes might be more involved but should follow the same spirit. Thanks again.
Dec 29, 2021 at 16:23 comment added Dustin G. Mixon Yep, that's what I have in mind.
Dec 29, 2021 at 16:22 comment added dohmatob Thanks for your insightful solution. The sufficient condition (2) is particular satisfying since this one of the cases I really care about. BTW, since there is not natural definition of "dimension of polar cone", what do you have in mind ? Dimension of smallest affine subset of $\mathbb R^n$ which contains the polar cone ?
