Fenchel Duality and a Separation Theorem on Hadamard Manifolds
基于切丛定义了Hadamard流形上的Fenchel共轭,克服了共轭依赖于流形上某点选择的缺陷,并证明了Fenchel-Moreau定理和凸集的严格分离定理。
In this paper, we introduce a definition of Fenchel conjugate and Fenchel biconjugate on Hadamard manifolds based on the tangent bundle. Our definition overcomes the inconvenience that the conjugate depends on the choice of a certain point on the manifold, as previous definitions required. On the other hand, this new definition still possesses properties known to hold in the Euclidean case. It even yields a broader interpretation of the Fenchel conjugate in the Euclidean case itself. Most prominently, our definition of the Fenchel conjugate provides a Fenchel--Moreau theorem for geodesically convex, proper, lower semicontinuous functions. In addition, this framework allows us to develop a theory of separation of convex sets on Hadamard manifolds, and a strict separation theorem is obtained.
