Robustness measures are increasingly prominent resource quantifiers that have been introduced for quantum resource theories such as entanglement and coherence. Despite the generality of these measures, their usefulness is hindered by the fact that some of their mathematical properties remain unclear, especially when the set of resource-free states is non-convex.
In this paper, we investigate continuity properties of different robustness functions. We show that their continuity depends on the shape of the set of free states. In particular, we demonstrate that in many cases, star-convexity is sufficient for Lipschitz-continuity of the robustness, and we provide specific examples of sets leading to non-continuous measures. 
Finally, we illustrate the applicability of our results by defining a robustness of teleportability and of quantum discord.
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.
