In this paper we present two general results on the existence of a discrete zero point of a function from the n-dimensional integer lattice Zn to the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn. Under two different boundary conditions, we give a constructive proof using a combinatorial argument based on a...

We consider the classical duality operators for convex objects suchas the polar of a convex set containing the origin, the dual norm,the Fenchel-transform of a convex function and the conjugate of aconvex cone. We give a new, sharper, unified treatment of the theoryof these operators, deriving...
