Faces and Support Functions for the Values of Maximal Monotone Operators

Representation formulas for faces and support functions of the values of maximal monotone operators are established in two cases: either the operators are defined on uniformly Banach spaces with uniformly convex duals, or their domains have nonempty interiors on reflexive real Banach spaces. Faces and support functions are characterized by the limit values of the minimal-norm selections of maximal monotone operators in the first case while in the second case they are represented by the limit values of any selection of maximal monotone operators. These obtained formulas are applied to study the structure of maximal monotone operators: the local unique determination from their minimal-norm selections, the local and global decompositions, and the unique determination on dense subsets of their domains.

Lipschitz Continuity of Convex Functions

We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper lower semicontinuous convex function, defined on a real Banach space, to be locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. Our criteria rely on the existence of a bounded selection of the subdifferential mapping and the intersections of the subdifferential mapping and the normal cone operator to the domain of the given function. Moreover, we also point out that the Lipschitz continuity of the given function on an open and bounded (not necessarily convex) set can be characterized via the existence of a bounded selection of the subdifferential mapping on the boundary of the given set and as a consequence it is equivalent to the local Lipschitz continuity at every point on the boundary of that set. Our results are applied to extend a Lipschitz and convex function to the whole space and to study the Lipschitz continuity of its Moreau envelope functions.
