CHAPTER 13 ELEMENTS OF CONVEX ANALYSIS

where h is the impulse response of H0 + H1 + H2, h1 is the impulse response of

H1, and h2 is the impulse response of H2 (see section 13.4.6).

Consider the point = 1, = 0, where 'pk trk(1 0) = 0:837. A subgradient at

this point is

In gure 13.6 the level curve 'pk trk( ) = 0:837 is shown, together with the

subgradient (13.6) at the point 1 0]T. As expected, the subgradient determines a

half-space that contains the convex set
