Blurred maximal cyclically monotone sets and bipotentials

Abstract

Let X be a reflexive Banach space and Y its dual. In this paper we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a bipotential for a blurred maximal cyclically monotone graph. Equivalently, we find a necessary and sufficient condition on $\phi \in \Gamma_{0}(X)$ for that the differential inclusion $y \in \bar{B}(\epsilon) + \partial \phi(x)$ can be put in the form $y \in \partial b(\cdot, y)(x)$, with $b$ a bipotential.
