Smoothness Properties of the Lower Semicontinuous Quasiconvex Envelope
Marcus Wagner[1] (1) Universität Graz, AustriaAssume that K⊂ℝnm is a convex body with o ∈ int (K) and f~: ℝnm → ℝ is a Lipschitz resp. C1-function. Defining the unbounded function f: ℝnm → ℝ ∪ {(+∞)} through
f(v) = {f~ (ν), ν ∈ K (+∞), v ∈ ℝnm K, we provide sufficient conditions in order to guarantee that its lower semicontinuous quasiconvex envelope f(qc)(w) = sup {g(w) g: ℝnm → ℝ ∪ {(+∞)} quasiconvex and lower semicontinuous, g(ν)≤ f(ν) ∀ ν ∈ ℝnm} is globally Lipschitz continuous on K or differentiable in ν ∈ int (K), respectively. An example shows that the partial derivatives of f(qc) do not necessarily admit a representation with a “supporting measure” for fqc in ν0.Keywords: Quasiconvex function, separately convex function, lower semicontinuous quasiconvex envelope, probability measure, differentiability
