It is well-known that lower semicontinuous convex functions of the form \(\varphi:X\times X^{\ast}\rightarrow(-\infty,+\infty]\) can be used to represent maximal monotone operators \(T:X\rightrightarrows X^{\ast}\), see for instance \textit{E. Krauss} [Rev. Roum. Math. Pures Appl. 30, 823--837 (1985; Zbl 0598.47059)], \textit{S. Fitzpatrick} [Proc. Cent. Math. Anal. Aust. Natl. Univ. 20, 59--65 (1988; Zbl 0669.47029)], \textit{J.-E. Martinez-Legaz} and \textit{M. Théra} [J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 2, 243--247 (2001; Zbl 0999.47037)] and \textit{R. Burachik} and \textit{B. Svaiter} [Set-Valued Anal. 10, No. 4, 297--316 (2002; Zbl 1033.47036)]. In this paper, the author uses this representation and classical tools from convex analysis to obtain results about maximal monotone operators. A related reference on this subject is [\textit{S. Simons} and \textit{C. Zalinescu}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 132, No. 10, 2969--2972 (2004; Zbl 1062.47046)]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1030.00017].
