We generalize and improve the original characterization given by Valadier [18, Theorem 1] of the subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of convex functions, involving the subdifferentials of the data functions at nearby points. We remove…
In this paper we develop general formulas for the subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of convex functions, which cover and unify both the compact continuous and the non-compact non-continuous settings. From the non-continuous to the…
This work provides calculus for the Fr\'echet and limiting subdifferential of the pointwise supremum given by an arbitrary family of lower semicontinuous functions. We start our study showing fuzzy results about the Fr\'echet…
The aim of this work is to provide formulae for the subdifferential and the conjungate function of the supremun function over an arbitrary family of functions. The work is principally motivated by the case when data functions are lower…
We provide sharp and explicit characterizations of the normal cone to sublevel sets of suprema of arbitrary functions, expressed exclusively in terms of subdifferentials of the data functions. In the convex case, the resulting formulas…
We establish explicit data-dependent and symmetric characterizations of the subdifferential of the supremum of convex functions, formulated directly in terms of the underlying data functions. In our approach, both active and non-active…
The first part of the paper provides new characterizations of the normal cone to the effective domain of the supremum of an arbitrary family of convex functions. These results are applied in the second part to give new formulas for the…
Subdifferentials (in the sense of convex analysis) of matrix-valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are convex with respect to the L\"{o}wner partial order can have a complicated structure and might be very difficult to compute…
Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear (abstract affine) functions. The purpose of this paper is to…
Computing explicitly the {\epsilon}-subdifferential of a proper function amounts to computing the level set of a convex function namely the conjugate minus a linear function. The resulting theoretical algorithm is applied to the the class…
In this note we provide a full conjugacy and subdifferential calculus for convex convex-composite functions in finite-dimensional space. Our approach, based on infimal convolution and cone-convexity, is straightforward and yields the…
We show that various functionals related to the supremum of a real function defined on an arbitrary set or a measure space are Hadamard directionally differentiable. We specifically consider the supremum norm, the supremum, the infimum, and…
The main contribution of this paper is that every convex function with non-empty relative algebraic interior of its domain is Lipschitz and subdifferentiable in some algebraic sense without any additional topological constraints. The…
This paper studies properties of a subdifferential defined using a generalized conjugation scheme. We relate this subdifferential together with the domain of an appropriate conjugate function and the {\epsilon}-directional derivative. In…
This work provides formulae for the $\epsilon$-subdifferential of integral functions in the framework of complete $\sigma$-finite measure spaces and locally convex spaces. In this work we present here new formulae for this…
We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…
For any scalar-valued bivariate function that is locally Lipschitz continuous and directionally differentiable, it is shown that a subgradient may always be constructed from the function's directional derivatives in the four compass…
In this paper we first provide a general formula of inclusion for the Dini-Hadamard epsilon-subdifferential of the difference of two functions and show that it becomes equality in case the functions are directionally approximately…
The paper is devoted to a comprehensive second-order study of a remarkable class of convex extended-real-valued functions that is highly important in many aspects of nonlinear and variational analysis, specifically those related to…
In this paper, we present a more complete version of the minimax theorem established in [7]. As a consequence, we get, for instance, the following result: Let $X$ be a compact, not singleton subset of a normed space $(E,\|\cdot\|)$ and let…
