Review text

Let \(E\) be a Banach space. Given a multifunction \(S: E\to 2^{E^*}\) the authors consider a convex function \(\chi_s: E\to\mathbb{R} \cup \{\infty\}\) defined by \[ \chi_s (w): = \sup {\sum_i \alpha_i \langle w- y_i,y^*_i \rangle \over 1+ |\sum_i \alpha_iy_i |}, \] where the supremum is taken over all \((y_1, y^*_1), \dots, (y_m, y^*_m) \in\text{graph} S\), \(\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_m \geq 0\) with \(\sum\alpha_i=1\), and \(m\geq 1\). This function gives a considerable amount of information about the structure of \(S\). Using it, the authors strengthen some known results on the local boundedness of a monotone operator, and the convexity of the interior and closure of the domain of a maximal monotone operator.
