Abstract
We provide new characterizations of the \(\varepsilon \)-subdifferential of the supremum of an arbitrary family of convex functions. The resulting formulas only involve approximate subdifferentials of adequate convex combinations of the data functions. Families of convex functions with a concavity-like property are introduced and their relationship with affine models is studied. The role of the lower semi-continuity of the data functions is also analyzed.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
