Equality of convex functions from equal minimal subgradient norms
Let be the underlying Hilbert space, and let be finite convex functions bounded from below. For each , let denote the subdifferential of at .
Equal minimal subgradient norm conjecture. If
then for some constant .
This conjecture would extend the preceding uniqueness theorem for twice continuously differentiable convex functions to finite, possibly nonsmooth convex functions. The source presents it as plausible but does not provide a resolution.
