On the metric projection onto prox-regular subsets of Riemannian manifolds

Prox-regular subsets of Riemannian manifolds are introduced. A characterization of prox-regular sets based on the hypomonotonicity of the truncated limiting normal cone is obtained. Moreover, some properties of metric projection mapping and distance function corresponding to the proxregular sets are presented.
