Abstract

We establish a Fenchel-Moreau type theorem for proper convex functions f ⁣:XLˉ0f\colon X\to \bar{L}^0, where (X,Y,,)(X, Y, \langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle) is a dual pair of Banach spaces and Lˉ0\bar L^0 is the space of all extended real-valued functions on a σ\sigma-finite measure space. We introduce the concept of stable lower semi-continuity which is shown to be equivalent to the existence of a dual representation f(x)=supyL0(Y){x,yf(y)},xX,\smash{ f(x)=\sup_{y \in L^0(Y)} \left\{\langle x, y \rangle - f^\ast(y)\right\}, \quad x\in X,} where L0(Y)L^0(Y) is the space of all strongly measurable functions with values in YY, and ,\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle is understood pointwise almost everywhere. The proof is based on a conditional extension result and conditional functional analysis.
