Regularly abstract convex functions with respect to the set of Lipschitz continuous concave functions
Abstract
The goal of the paper is to study the particular class of regularly -convex functions, when is the set of real-valued Lipschitz continuous classically concave functions defined on a real normed space . For an extended-real-valued function to be -convex it is necessary and sufficient that be lower semicontinuous and bounded from below by a Lipschitz continuous function; moreover, each -convex function is regularly -convex as well. We focus on -subdifferentiability of functions at a given point. We prove that the set of points at which an -convex function is -subdifferentiable is dense in its effective domain. Using the subset of the set consisting of such Lipschitz continuous concave functions that vanish at the origin we introduce the notions of -subgradient and -subdifferential of a function at a point which generalize the corresponding notions of the classical convex analysis. Symmetric notions of abstract -concavity and -superdifferentiability of functions where is the set of Lipschitz continuous convex functions are also considered. Some properties and simple calculus rules for -subdifferentials as well as -subdifferential conditions for global extremum points are established.
