Bounds on ρ from the unit-ball sandwich and the ball formula.
Two-sided bounds between distance functions give equivalent open/closed/Cauchy notions.
Text 15.0.19: Since C is bounded and 0 ∈ int C, there exist α, β > 0 such that
α B ⊆ C ⊆ β B, where B is the Euclidean unit ball.
Writing d(x,y) = ‖x - y‖₂, the associated Minkowski metric ρ satisfies the two-sided comparison
α^{-1} d(x,y) ≥ ρ(x,y) ≥ β^{-1} d(x,y) for all x,y.
Consequently, Minkowski metrics on ℝⁿ are topologically equivalent to the Euclidean metric: they
induce the same open/closed sets and the same Cauchy sequences.
Text 15.0.20: An extended-real-valued convex function f : ℝⁿ → (-∞, +∞] is gauge-like if
f(0) = inf f and all its sublevel sets {x | f x ≤ α} for f(0) < α < +∞ are proportional, i.e.
each is a positive scalar multiple of any other such sublevel set.

Instances For
Build a closed gauge from a base sublevel of a gauge-like closed proper convex function.
Pick a base sublevel and a closed gauge whose unit sublevel matches it.
If the unit-sublevel support function is finite, then any x with k x = 0 pairs
nonpositively with the dual vector.
