Abstract: | The gap function expresses the duality gap of a convex program as a function of the primal variables only. Differentiability and convexity properties are derived, and a convergent minimization algorithm is given. An example gives a simple one-variable interpretation of weak and strong duality. Application to user-equilibrium traffic assignment yields an appealing alternative optimization problem. |
