Abstract:The notion of adequate (resp. strongly adequate) function has been recently introduced to characterize the essentially strictly convex (resp. essentially firmly subdifferentiable) functions among the weakly lower semicontinuous (resp. lower semicontinuous) ones. In this paper we provide various necessary and sufficient conditions in order that the lower semicontinuous hull of an extended realvalued function on a reflexive Banach space is essentially strictly convex. Some new results on nearest (farthest) point… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
