Abstract: We employ a basic formalism from convex analysis to show a simple relation between the entanglement of formation

E_{F}

and the conjugate function

E^{*}

of the entanglement function

E (h o) = S (r a c e_{A} h o)

. We then consider the conjectured strong superadditivity of the entanglement of formation

E_{F} (h o) g e E_{F} (h o_{I}) + E_{F} (h o_{I I})

, where

h o_{I}

and

h o_{I I}

are the reductions of

h o

to the different Hilbert space copies, and prove that it is equivalent with subadditivity of

E^{*}

. As an application, we show that strong superadditivity would follow from multiplicativity of the maximal channel output purity for all non-trace-preserving quantum channels, when purity is measured by Schatten

p

-norms for

p

tending to 1.
