Abstract:
We study some properties of functions with star-shaped (and, in particular, radiant) and closed epigraph. We show that these functions can be characterized as abstract convex with respect to a certain class of min-type functions and give conditions that guarantee the non-emptiness of the subdifferential with respect to this class.
Radiant and star-shaped functions
