A simple closure condition for the normal cone intersection formula

In this paper it is shown that if and are two closed convex subsets of a Banach space and , then whenever the convex cone, , is weak* closed, where and are the support function and the normal cone of the set respectively. This closure condition is shown to be weaker than the standard interior-point-like conditions and the bounded linear regularity condition.

Strong Minkowski Separation and Co-Drop Property

In the framework of topological vector spaces, we give a characterization of strong Minkowski separation, introduced by Cheng, et al., in terms of convex body separation. From this, several results on strong Minkowski separation are deduced. Using the results, we prove a drop theorem involving weakly countably compact sets in locally convex spaces. Moreover, we introduce the notion of the co-drop property and show that every weakly countably compact set has the co-drop property. If the underlying locally convex space is quasi-complete, then a bounded weakly closed set has the co-drop property if and only if it is weakly countably compact.     

Subdifferential set of the supremum of lower semi-continuous convex functions and the conical hull intersection property

In this paper we give some characterizations for the subdifferential set of the supremum of an arbitrary (possibly infinite) family of proper lower semi-continuous convex functions. This is achieved by means of formulae depending exclusively on the (exact) subdifferential sets and the normal cones to the domains of the involved functions. Our approach makes use of the concept of conical hull intersection property (CHIP, for short). It allows us to establish sufficient conditions guarantying explicit representations for this subdifferential set at any point of the effective domain of the supremum function.
