Fenchel–Moreau theorem
Mathematical theorem in convex analysis / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In convex analysis, the Fenchel–Moreau theorem (named after Werner Fenchel and Jean Jacques Moreau) or Fenchel biconjugation theorem (or just biconjugation theorem) is a theorem which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be equal to its biconjugate. This is in contrast to the general property that for any function .[1][2] This can be seen as a generalization of the bipolar theorem.[1] It is used in duality theory to prove strong duality (via the perturbation function).
