Almost convex functions: Conjugacy and duality

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We prove that the formulae of the conjugates of the precomposition with a linear operator, of the sum of finitely many functions and of the sum between a function and the precomposition of another one with a linear operator hold even when the convexity assumptions are replaced by almost convexity or nearly convexity. We also show that the duality statements due to Fenchel hold when the functions involved are taken only almost convex, respectively nearly convex.
