Conditional Analysis on R^d
Abstract
This paper provides versions of classical results from linear algebra, real analysis and convex analysis in a free module of finite rank over the ring of measurable functions on a -finite measure space. We study the question whether a submodule is finitely generated and introduce the more general concepts of -affine sets, -convex sets, -convex cones, -hyperplanes, -half-spaces and -convex polyhedral sets. We investigate orthogonal complements, orthogonal decompositions and the existence of orthonormal bases. We also study -linear, -affine, -convex and -sublinear functions and introduce notions of continuity, differentiability, directional derivatives and subgradients. We use a conditional version of the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem to show that conditional Cauchy sequences converge and give conditions under which conditional optimization problems have optimal solutions. We prove results on the separation of -convex sets by -hyperplanes and study -convex conjugate functions. We provide a result on the existence of -subgradients of -convex functions, prove a conditional version of the Fenchel-Moreau theorem and study conditional inf-convolutions.
