Representative functions of maximal monotone operators and bifunctions

Functional Analysis 2015-08-03 v1 Optimization and Control

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show that every representative function of a maximal monotone operator is the Fitzpatrick transform of a bifunction corresponding to the operator. In this way we exhibit the relation between the recent theory of representative functions, and the much older theory of saddle functions initiated by Rockafellar.
