Theorem 10.3. Let C be a locally simplicial convex set, and let f be a finite convex
function on ri C which is bounded above on every bounded subset of ri C. Then f can be
extended in one and only one way to a continuous finite convex function on the whole of C.
Boundedness above on bounded subsets of the positive orthant, from coordinatewise monotonicity.
The relative interior of the nonnegative orthant in EuclideanSpace is the positive orthant.
The coordinate singleton vectors Pi.single i M are linearly independent when M ≠ 0.
The family of vertices {0} ∪ {Pi.single i M} is affinely independent when M ≠ 0.
The convex hull of {0} ∪ {Pi.single i M} is an n-simplex when M ≠ 0.
Theorem 10.3.1. Let C ⊆ ℝ^n be the nonnegative orthant,
C = {x = (ξ₁, …, ξₙ) | ξⱼ ≥ 0, j = 1, …, n}. Assume f is a finite convex function on the
positive orthant int C and is non-decreasing in each coordinate.
Then f is bounded above on every bounded subset of the positive orthant, and hence f admits a
unique extension to a finite continuous convex function on the whole nonnegative orthant C.
Definition 10.3.2. Let S ⊆ ℝ^n. A real-valued function f defined on S is called
Lipschitzian relative to S if there exists a real number α ≥ 0 such that
|f(y) - f(x)| ≤ α |y - x| for all x ∈ S and y ∈ S.

Instances For
A function that is Lipschitz on a set is uniformly continuous on that set.
Theorem 10.3.3. Let S ⊆ ℝ^n.
If a real-valued function f is Lipschitzian relative to S, then f is uniformly continuous
relative to S.
A compact set included in the relative interior admits a uniform radius whose translated scaled unit ball (intersected with the affine span) stays in the relative interior.
