In 1990 Gowda and Teboulle published the paper [16], making a comparison of several conditions ensuring the Fenchel-Rockafellar duality formula

inf{f(x) + g(Ax) | x ∈ X} = max{−f*(A*y*) − g*(− y*) | y* ∈ Y*}.

Probably the first comparison of different constraint qualification conditions was made by Hiriart-Urruty [17] in connection with ε-subdifferential calculus. Among them appears, as the basic sufficient condition, the formula for the conjugate of the corresponding function; such functions are: f1 + f2, g o A, max{fl,…, fn}, etc. In fact strong duality formulae (like the one above) and good formulae for conjugates are equivalent and they can be used to obtain formulae for ε-subdifferentials, using a technique developed in [17] and extensively used in [46].
