The Points of Twice Differentiability of a Convex Function: a Borel Set of Full Measure, and Borel Measurability of the Gradient and Hessian on It
lemmaAnalysislem:borel-second-derivatives-convex-rn-2026aA convex function on an open convex set is twice differentiable on a Borel set of full measure, and on any Borel set of twice-differentiability points its gradient, Hessian entries, Hessian determinant and trace (extended by zero) are Borel, with nonnegative determinant and trace.
In the setting of Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation and Differential Calculus and Convexity on Euclidean Open Sets: Standing Notation, used with a natural number satisfying , let be open and convex and let be convex on . At a point at which is twice differentiable, denotes the first-order coefficient, which is the gradient of at as recorded there, and the Hessian. For a real matrix , is its determinant and its trace.
1. (A Borel set of full measure)¶ There is with and such that is twice differentiable at every point of ; here belongs to , being open.
For the remaining claims let satisfy , suppose that is twice differentiable at every point of , and for let be the functions whose values at are, respectively, the th coordinate of , the entry of in row and column , and , and whose values at every are .
2. (Borel derivatives)¶ The functions , (), and are Borel.
3. (Nonnegativity)¶ and for every .
