Metrics and Isometries for Convex Functions

Abstract

We introduce a class of functional analogs of the symmetric difference metric on the space of coercive convex functions on ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with full-dimensional domain. We show that convergence with respect to these metrics is equivalent to epi-convergence. Furthermore, we give a full classification of all isometries with respect to some of the new metrics. Moreover, we introduce two new functional analogs of the Hausdorff metric on the spaces of coercive convex functions and super-coercive convex functions, respectively, and prove equivalence to epi-convergence.
