The e-support function of an e-convex set and conjugacy for e-convex functions

Abstract

A subset of a locally convex space is called e-convex if it is the intersection of a family of open halfspaces. An extended real-valued function on such a space is called e-convex if its epigraph is e-convex. In this paper we introduce a suitable support function for e-convex sets as well as a conjugation scheme for e-convex functions.
