A new proof for Rockafellar’s characterization of maximal monotone operators
Stephen Simons, Constantin Zălinescu · Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society · 2004
We provide a new and short proof for Rockafellar’s characterization of maximal monotone operators in reflexive Banach spaces based on S. Fitzpatrick’s function and a technique used by R. S. Burachik and B. F. Svaiter for proving their result on the representation of a maximal monotone operator by convex functions.
