If a ∉ C, then {a} and C have disjoint intrinsic interiors.
From a proper separating hyperplane between {a} and C, extract a nontrivial closed
half-space of the form {x | x ⬝ᵥ b ≤ β} containing C.
Corollary 11.5.2. Let C be a convex subset of ℝ^n other than ℝ^n itself. Then there
exists a closed half-space containing C. In other words, there exists some b ∈ ℝ^n such that
the linear function x ↦ ⟪x, b⟫ (i.e. x ⬝ᵥ b) is bounded above on C.
Theorem 11.6: Let C be a convex set, and let D be a non-empty convex subset of C (for
instance, a subset consisting of a single point). In order that there exist a non-trivial
supporting hyperplane to C containing D, it is necessary and sufficient that D be disjoint
from ri C (the relative/intrinsic interior of C).
