New Formulas for the Fenchel Subdifferential of the Conjugate Function

Rafael Correa, Abderrahim Hantoute

Abstract: Following [2] we provide new formulas for the Fenchel subdifferential of the
conjugate of functions defined on locally convex spaces. In particular, this allows deriving
expressions for the minimiers set of the lower semicontinuous convex hull of such functions.
!hese formulas are written by means of primal objects related to the subdifferential of the initial
function, namely a new enlargement of the Fenchel subdifferential operator. !his joined wor"
