Linear Monotone Subspaces of Locally Convex Spaces

The main focus of this paper is to study multi-valued linear monotone operators in the context of locally convex spaces via the use of their Fitzpatrick and Penot functions. Notions such as maximal monotonicity, uniqueness, negative-infimum, and (dual-)representability are studied and criteria are provided.
