The concept of duality in convex analysis, and the characterization of the Legendre transform

چکیده
In the main theorem of this paper we show that any involution on the class of lower semi-continuous convex functions which is order-reversing, must be, up to linear terms, the well known Legendre transform.

SOME PROPERTIES FOR FUZZY CHANCE CONSTRAINED PROGRAMMING
Convexity theory and duality theory are important issues in math- ematical programming. Within the framework of credibility theory, this paper rst introduces the concept of convex fuzzy variables and some basic criteria. Furthermore, a convexity theorem for fuzzy chance constrained programming is proved by adding some convexity conditions on the objective and constraint functions. Finally,...
متن کاملOptimality and Duality for an Efficient Solution of Multiobjective Nonlinear Fractional Programming Problem Involving Semilocally Convex Functions
In this paper, the problem under consideration is multiobjective non-linear fractional programming problem involving semilocally convex and related functions. We have discussed the interrelation between the solution sets involving properly efficient solutions of multiobjective fractional programming and corresponding scalar fractional programming problem. Necessary and sufficient optimality...
متن کاملOn Continuity Properties of the Partial Legendre-fenchel Transform Convergence of Sequences of Augmented Lagrangian Functions, Moreau-yosida Approximates and Subdifferential Operators
In this article we consider the continuity properties of the partial Legendre-Fenchel transform which associates, with a bivariate convex function F: X x Y --t R U {+m}, its partial conjugate L : x x Y * + R, i.e. L(z , y* ) = inf y E Y { F ( z , y ) (Y* I Y)}. Follwiing [3] where this tranformation has been proved to be bicontinuous when convex functioiis F are equipped with the Mosco-epi-conv...
متن کاملComplex Interpolation of R-norms, Duality and Foliations
The complex method of interpolation, going back to Calderón and Coifman et al., on the one hand, and the Alexander–Wermer–Slodkowski theorem on polynomial hulls with convex fibers, on the other hand, are generalized to a method of interpolation of real (finite-dimensional) Banach spaces and of convex functions. The underlying duality in this method is given by the Legendre transform. Our result...
متن کاملNash Equilibrium and the Legendre Transform in Optimal Stopping Games with One Dimensional Diffusions
We show that the value function of an optimal stopping game driven by a one-dimensional diffusion can be characterised using the extension of the Legendre transform introduced in [19]. It is shown that under certain integrability conditions, a Nash equilibrium of the optimal stopping game can be derived from this extension of the Legendre transform. This result is an analytical complement to th...
