Recession cones commute with linear equivalences.
Corollary 4.7.2 specialized to h0_plus.
Precomposition with a surjective linear map preserves proper convexity on Set.univ.
Kernel directions in the embedded recession cone are lineality directions.
The image epigraph has no downward vertical recession directions under h0_plus.
If a fiber infimum is ⊥, the projected epigraph has a negative vertical recession
direction.
Theorem 9.2. Let h be a closed proper convex function on R^n, and let A be a linear
transformation from R^n to R^m. Assume that A z ≠ 0 for every z such that
(h0^+)(z) ≤ 0 and (h0^+)(-z) > 0. Then the function Ah, where
(Ah)(y) = inf { h(x) | A x = y }, is a closed proper convex function, and
(Ah)0^+ = A(h0^+). Moreover, for each y such that (Ah)(y) ≠ +infty, the infimum
in the definition of (Ah)(y) is attained for some x.

Remark 9.2.0.2. The hypothesis of Theorem 9.2 concerning h0_plus is trivially satisfied
if h has no directions of recession, in particular if dom h is bounded; the example at the
beginning of this section violates this hypothesis.
