Even convexity, subdifferentiability, and Γ-regularization in general topological vector spaces

Abstract

In this paper we provide new results on even convexity and extend some others to the framework of general topological vector spaces. We first present a characterization of the even convexity of an extended real-valued function at a point. We then establish the links between even convexity and subdifferentiability and the Γ-regularization of a given function. Consequently, we derive a sufficient condition for strong duality fulfillment in convex optimization problems.
