Hiriart-Urruty–Phelps-Like Formula for the Subdifferential of Integral Sums

Vietnam Journal of Mathematics volume 46, pages 391–405 (2018)Cite this article

Abstract

We provide subdifferential calculus rules for continuous sums parametrized in measurable spaces that use the approximate subdifferentials of the data functions. As in Hiriart-Urruty and Phelps (J. Funct. Anal. 118: 154–166, 1993) given for finite sums, the resulting formulas hold without any conditions of continuity type on the involved functions. All this analysis is done in the setting of locally convex Suslin spaces.
