Hessians of Two Convex Functions with Mutually Inverse Subgradients are Inverse Matrices at a Density Point
lemmaAnalysislem:inverse-hessians-inverse-subgradients-rn-2026aIf two convex functions have mutually inverse subgradients on a set, and each is twice differentiable at corresponding points, one of which is a density point of the set, then their Hessians there are positive definite and inverse to each other.
In the setting of Euclidean Space and Lebesgue Measure: Standing Notation and Differential Calculus and Convexity on Euclidean Open Sets: Standing Notation, used with a natural number satisfying , let density point have the meaning fixed there, let be the determinant, and let positive definiteness and the inverse matrix be as defined there. Let be open and convex, let be convex on and convex on , with subdifferentials and . Let , and be such that is twice differentiable at with first-order coefficient and Hessian , and is twice differentiable at with first-order coefficient and Hessian . Let be a set such that for every there is with
and suppose that is a density point of .
1. (Inverse Hessians)¶ and , so that each of and is invertible with inverse matrix the other; both are positive definite, and .
