摘要
In this work, using Moreau envelopes, we define a complete metric for the set of proper lower semicontinuous convex functions in a finite-dimensional space. Under this metric, the convergence of each sequence of convex functions is epi-convergence. We show that the set of strongly convex functions is dense but it is only of the first category. On the other hand, it is shown that the set of convex functions with strong minima is of the second category.
