Does coercivity/supercoercivity conjugates?
According to Wikipedia, a function $f: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R} \cup \{-\infty, +\infty\}$ is called coercive if,
$$f(x) \to +\infty \text{ as } \|x\| \to +\infty$$
and it is super-coercive if

Dual problem with integrals
I am reading a paper where the author derives the following Lagrangian dual problem :
$\min_v \int_R \frac{1}{4} \frac{\beta^2}{v-2\|x\|}dx+v\;\;\;\text{s.t.}\;\;\;v\geq 2\|x\|\;\;\;\forall x \in R$

Calculate $k:=\sup\left\{\left\|\theta\right\|_{*} \: |\: \ell^{*}(\theta)<\infty\right\}$ for a special $\ell$ function
We consider the function $\ell:\mathbb{R}^{m}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ given by
$$\ell(\xi):=-\max\left\{-\left\langle x,\xi\right\rangle+10 \tau, -51\left\langle x,\xi\right\rangle -40\tau \right\}$$
