Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: in the one-dimensional counterexample, the left-hand dual supremum
is exactly 0. The origin contributes 0, while every nonzero dual vector contributes ⊥
because the conjugate of the constant-zero function is the singleton indicator at the origin.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: any proof of the current theorem schema specializes to the explicit
counterexample and forces the impossible identity 0 = ⊥.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the one-dimensional quadratic/zero counterexample already falsifies the leading equality claimed in the target theorem.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the one-dimensional quadratic/zero counterexample still satisfies
the valid tail inequalities liminf p ≤ p(0) and p(0) = inf_x (f x - g x), so the obstruction
is isolated to the leading equality.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the one-dimensional quadratic/zero counterexample falsifies the entire displayed conclusion, even though the tail inequalities remain valid there.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the explicit quadratic/zero counterexample refutes the current universal theorem schema, so no local proof can exist until the leading equality is repaired.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the direct counterexample to the current theorem header uses the
singleton indicator at the origin as the convex function f.

Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the explicit indicator/quadratic pair already satisfies the actual current theorem hypotheses, so any obstruction must come from the theorem conclusion itself.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: for every dual vector x⋆, the affine perturbation
x ↦ ⟪x, x⋆⟫ - (x 0)^2 is unbounded below on ℝ^1.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the concave conjugate of the quadratic counterexample is ⊥
everywhere, because each affine-minus-quadratic slice is unbounded below.

Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: in the actual current theorem header, the direct indicator/quadratic

0 on the direct indicator/quadratic counterexample.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the direct indicator/quadratic counterexample evaluates the two
sides of the disputed leading equality to the incompatible constants ⊥ and 0.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the valid tail relations liminf p ≤ p(0) and
p(0) = inf_x (f x - g x) still hold for the direct indicator/quadratic counterexample used
against the current theorem header.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the direct indicator/quadratic counterexample already falsifies the leading equality in the actual current theorem header.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the direct indicator/quadratic counterexample already falsifies the leading equality in the actual current theorem header.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: for the direct indicator/quadratic counterexample, the full current theorem conclusion is false even though the tail relations remain valid.
Helper for Lemma 31.0.12: the actual current theorem schema is already refuted by the direct indicator/quadratic counterexample, so no proof can exist without repairing the statement upstream.
Lemma 31.0.12 (Inequality Between the Dual Objective and p(u)): let
f : ℝ^n → ℝ ∪ {+∞} be proper convex and let g : ℝ^n → ℝ ∪ {-∞} be proper concave. Assume
f and g are closed, and either dom f ∩ dom g ≠ ∅ or dom f⋆ ∩ dom g⋆ ≠ ∅, encoded here by
the nonemptiness of effectiveDomain ∩ concaveEffectiveDomain or of
effectiveDomain(f⋆) ∩ concaveConjugateEffectiveDomain(g). For the translated value function
p(u) = inf_x (f x - g (x + u)), represented by translatedDifferenceValueFunction f g, one has
sup_xStar φ(xStar) = liminf_{u → 0} p(u) ≤ p(0) = inf_x (f x - g x), where
φ = fenchelDualObjective f g.
