On the strong representability of the generalized parallel sum (Q472659)

By using representative functions and Fenchel conjugates, the author gives several closedness and interior point type regularity conditions for the maximal monotonicity of the generalized parallel sum of maximal monotone operators \(S\) and \(T\) of Gossez type (D), defined by using their extensions to the corresponding biduals. An application of the stable strong duality for the problem involving the function \(f\circ A+g\), where \(f\) and \(g\) are proper, convex and lower semicontinuous functions, and \(A\) is a linear and continuous operator, is presented. He also introduces some new generalized infimal convolution formulas and establishes some results concerning their Fenchel conjugates.
