Lipschitz behaviour of the Legendre-Fenchel Transform

We give estimates of the modulus of continuity of the Legendre-Fenchel Transform with respect to the Attouch-Wets uniformity. We point out the local Lipschitz behaviour of the conjugacy operation when endowing the set of closed proper convex functions defined on a normed vector space with suitable families of semimetrics.
