Relative interior of the effective domain under a linear preimage.
Relative interior of the effective domain in preimage form under a linear map.
Relative interior of the effective domain is preserved by convex closure.
Closure commutes with linear precomposition under a relative-interior preimage point.
Theorem 9.5. Let A be a linear transformation from ℝ^n to ℝ^m, and let g be a
proper convex function on ℝ^m such that g ∘ A is not identically +∞. If g is closed,
then g ∘ A is closed and (g ∘ A)0^+ = (g0^+) ∘ A. If g is not closed, but A x lies in
ri (dom g) for some x, then cl (g ∘ A) = (cl g) ∘ A.
In the lifted cone, a closure point with zero tail must be the origin.
The tail image of the lifted cone closes by adjoining recession directions.
Theorem 9.6. Let C be a non-empty closed convex set not containing the origin, and let
K be the convex cone generated by C. Then closure K = K ∪ 0^+ C, and this set equals
⋃ { λ C | λ > 0 or λ = 0^+ }.
Boundedness forces the recession cone of the Euclidean image to be {0}.
Corollary 9.6.1. If C is a non-empty closed bounded convex set not containing the
origin, then the convex cone K generated by C is closed.
