Inf-convolution and regularization of convex functions on Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive curvature

We show how an operation of inf-convolution can be used to approximate convex functions with $C^1$ smooth convex functions on Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature (in a manner that not only is explicit but also preserves some other properties of the original functions, such as ordering, s...

Sumario:We show how an operation of inf-convolution can be used to approximate convex functions with $C^1$ smooth convex functions on Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature (in a manner that not only is explicit but also preserves some other properties of the original functions, such as ordering, symmetries, infima and sets of minimizers), and we give some applications
