Abstract
In this paper we work in separated locally convex spaces where we give equivalent statements for the formulae of the conjugate function of the sum of a convex lower-semicontinuous function and the precomposition of another convex lower-semicontinuous function which is also K-increasing with a K-convex K-epi-closed function, where K is a nonempty closed convex cone. These statements prove to be the weakest constraint qualifications given so far under which the formulae for the subdifferential of the mentioned sum of functions are valid. Then we deliver constraint qualifications inspired from them that guarantee some conjugate duality assertions. Two interesting special cases taken from the literature conclude the paper.
