Let Γ(X) be the convex proper lower semicontinuous functions on a normed linear space X. We show, subject to Rockafellar's constraints qualifications, that the operations of sum, episum and restriction are continuous with respect to the slice topology that reduces to the topology of Mosco convergence for reflexive X. We show also when X is complete that the epigraphical difference is continuous. These results are applied to convergence of convex sets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
