Singularities of Fitzpatrick and convex functions

Publication date 19 December 2022

Abstract: In a pseudo-Euclidean space with scalar product

S (c d o t, c d o t)

, we show that the singularities of projections on

S

-monotone sets and of the associated Fitzpatrick functions are covered by countable

c - c

surfaces having positive normal vectors with respect to the

S

-product. By Zaj'{i}v{c}ek [21] the singularities of a convex function

f

can be covered by a countable collection of

c - c

surfaces. We show that the normal vectors to these surfaces are restricted to the cone generated by

F - F

, where

F := e x t c l r a n g e a b l a f

, the closure of the range of the gradient of

f

.
