(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) If f* φ is strictly positive, then (posHomHull f)* φ = ⊤.
This is the scaling argument used to identify the effective domain of the conjugate of the positively-homogeneous hull.
(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) The effective domain of the conjugate of the positively homogeneous
hull is exactly the 0-sublevel set of the original conjugate.
Strict negativity for the positively-homogeneous hull forces membership in the conic hull of
the 0-sublevel set of f.
(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) Under the hypotheses ensuring nonemptiness of the dual 0-sublevel
set, the positively homogeneous hull never takes the value ⊥.
(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) Subadditivity of the positively homogeneous hull.
(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) The positively homogeneous hull is a proper convex function.
In the weak topology on the algebraic dual induced by evaluation, every evaluation map
φ ↦ φ x is continuous.
