Fenchel-Rockafellar Duality in Villani's Book

More details based on Steve's comment: We have \begin{align} -\Theta^*(-z^*) &= - \sup_{x \in E} \big[ \langle-z^*,x \rangle - \Theta(x) \big] \\ &=\inf_{x \in E} \big[ \langle z^*,x \rangle + \Thet …

Convex support of an exponential family and its mean parameter space $\mathcal{M}$

This question comes up in studying mean parametrization of exponential families of distributions. (See Brown's 1986 book on the subject.) Let $\nu$ be a (Borel) measure on $\mathbb R^d$. Let $p(\cd …

Bounds on the curvature of a sequence of convex functions

Let $\{f_n\}$ be a sequence of (real-valued) smooth convex functions on $[0,1]$, with $f_n(0) = f_n(1) = 0$ for all $n$. Let $t_n \in [0,1]$ be the minimizer of $f_n$ and assume that $M_n:= f_n(t_n) …

Uniqueness of (generalized) Moreau decomposition

Let $H$ be some Hilbert space, which we can take to be the usual finite-dimensional Euclidean space if needed. For a function $f : H \to \mathbb{R}$, let $f^* : H \to \mathbb{R}$ be its conjugate dual …
