Prop 4.4.1: The effective domain of a convex function is a convex set in ℝ^n.
Prop 4.4.2: Trivially, the convexity of f is equivalent to that of the restriction
of f to dom f (the effective domain). All the interest really centers on this
restriction, and S has little role of its own.
The constant ⊤ function is convex on any set.
Remark 4.4.5: There are weighty reasons, soon apparent, why one does not want to consider
merely the class of all convex functions having a fixed set C as their common effective domain.
Defintion 4.4.6: Conventions for arithmetic on EReal include
α + ⊤ = ⊤ + α = ⊤ for ⊥ < α, α - ⊤ = ⊥ + α = ⊥ for α < ⊤, rules for
multiplication by ⊤ or ⊥ depending on the sign of α, the identities
0 * ⊤ = ⊤ * 0 = 0 = 0 * ⊥ = ⊥ * 0, -⊥ = ⊤, and
sInf ∅ = ⊤, sSup ∅ = ⊥.
