On Long Orbit Empty Value (LOEV) principle
We consider an useful in Variational Analysis tool -- Long Orbit or Empty Value (LOEV) principle -- in different settings, starting from more abstract to more defined. We prove, using LOEV principle, a number of basic results in Variational Analysis, including some novel. We characterize $Σ_g$-semicompleteness for a generalized metric function $g$ which is neither symmetric nor satisfies the triangle inequality, in terms of validity of Ekeland Theorem for this $g$. We present an interesting application to perturbability to minimum in a $G_δ$ subset of a complete metric space.
