property logical_not_func.convex_conj¶

Convex conjugate functional of the functional.

Notes

The convex conjugate functional of a convex functional $f(x)$ , defined on a Hilber space, is defined as the functional

$f^*(x^*) = \sup_{x} \{ \langle x^*,x \rangle - f(x) \}.$

The concept is also known as the Legendre transformation.

For literature references see, e.g., [Lue1969], [Roc1970], the wikipedia article on Convex conjugate or the wikipedia article on the Legendre transformation.
