Resumo

In this paper we deal with strong Fenchel duality for infinite-dimensional optimization problems where both feasible set and objective function are evenly convex. To this aim, via perturbation approach, a conjugation scheme for evenly convex functions, based on generalized convex conjugation, is used. The key is to extend some well-known results from convex analysis, involving the sum of the epigraphs of two conjugate functions, the infimal convolution and the sum formula of ε-subdifferentials for lower semicontinuous convex functions, to this more general framework.
