Approaching the Maximal Monotonicity of Bifunctions via Representative Functions
Journal of convex analysis, Tome 19 (2012) no. 3, pp. 713-724
We provide an approach to maximal monotone bifunctions based on the theory of representative functions. Thus we extend to nonreflexive Banach spaces recent results due to A. N. Iusem ["On the maximal monotonicity of diagonal subdifferential operators", J. Convex Analysis 18 (2011) 489--503] and, respectively, to N. Hadjisavvas and H. Khatibzadeh ["Maximal monotonicity of bifunctions", Optimization 59 (2010) 147--160], where sufficient conditions guaranteeing the maximal monotonicity of bifunctions were introduced. New results involving the sum of two monotone bifunctions are also presented.
