Our tools include (epsilon-) calculus rules for sup/max functions. The framework of this work is that of a locally convex space, however, formulas using exact subdifferentials require some restriction either on the space (e.g. Banach), or on the function (e.g. epi-pointed).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-27T15:03:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26B05", "26J25", "49H05" ], "keywords": [ "convex functions", "delta-normal sets", "general representation", "exact subdifferentials", "nearby points" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
