In this paper, we establish some new characterizations of the metric regularity of implicit multifunctions in complete metric spaces by using the lower semicontinuous envelopes of the distance functions for set-valued mappings. Through these new characterizations it is possible to investigate implicit multifunction theorems based on coderivatives and on contingent derivatives as well as the perturbation stability of implicit multifunctions.
