Equality of convex functions from equal minimal subgradient norms
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.
