Abstract. Fenchel subdifferential operators of lower semicontinuous proper convex functions on real Banach spaces are classically characterized as those operators that are maximally cyclically monotone or, equivalently, maximally monotone and cyclically monotone. This paper presents an alternative characterization, which does not involve cyclic monotonicity. In the case of subdifferential operators of sublinear functions, the new characterization substantially simplifies. Dually, the new characterization of normal cone operators is very simple, too.
