Singularities of Fitzpatrick and convex functions

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2023-08-29 v3

Abstract

In a pseudo-Euclidean space with scalar product S(,)S(\cdot, \cdot), we show that the singularities of projections on SS-monotone sets and of the associated Fitzpatrick functions are covered by countable ccc-c surfaces having positive normal vectors with respect to the SS-product. By Zaj\'{\i}\v{c}ek [24], the singularities of a convex function ff can be covered by a countable collection of ccc-c surfaces. We show that the normal vectors to these surfaces are restricted to the cone generated by FFF-F, where F:=cl range fF:=\text{cl range } \nabla f, the closure of the range of the gradient of ff.
