Abstract :
We discuss various formulas for the subdifferential of the sum of l.s.c. convex functions given in terms of certain topological closure operations on the sum of the subdifferentials of each function. We show how the accuracy of the formulas expressed by the closure operations can be improved when additional assumptions on the family of functions are available.
