It is known that, under suitable assumptions, the subdifferential ∂(f □ g) of the infimal convolution of two convex functions f and g coincides with the parallel sum of ∂ f and ∂ g. We prove that a similar formula holds for the subdifferential of the deconvolution of two convex functions: under appropriate hypothesis it coincides with the parallel star-difference of the sub-differentials of the functions.
