Abstract:
The purpose of this work is twofold: on the one hand, we study the second-order behaviour of a nonsmooth convex function defined over a reflexive Banach space . We establish several equivalent characterizations of the set , known as the second-order subdifferential of at relative to . On the other hand, we examine the case in which is the functional integral associated to a normal convex integrand . We extend a result of Chi Ngoc Do from the space to a possible nonreflexive Banach space . We also establish a formula for computing the second-order subdifferential .
