Abstract
Given two convex functions and on a Hilbert space, verifying , we show there necessarily exists a lower‐semicontinuous convex function such that and . An explicit formulation of is given as a deconvolution of a convex function by another one. The approach taken here as well as the way of factorizing and shed a new light on what is known as Moreau’s theorem in the literature on Convex Analysis.
