Nearly convex sets: fine properties and domains or ranges of subdifferentials of convex functions

Nearly convex sets play important roles in convex analysis, optimization and theory of monotone operators. We give a systematic study of nearly convex sets, and construct examples of subdifferentials of lower semicontinuous convex functions whose domains or ranges are nonconvex.
