Proposition 16.4 (1): if f has a nonempty effective domain, then every point at which the
subdifferential is nonempty lies in the effective domain. For ]-∞,+∞]-valued functions, this is
the remaining properness content after excluding -∞ by the codomain.
Pointwise form of Proposition 16.4 (1): subdifferentiability forces effective-domain membership.
Proposition 16.4 (2): at a point of the effective domain, the subdifferential is the intersection of the affine half-spaces cut out by the subgradient inequalities over the effective domain.
Proposition 16.4 (3): the subdifferential is closed at every point.
Proposition 16.4 (4): the subdifferential is convex at every point.
Proposition 16.4 (5): if the subdifferential of f at x is nonempty, then f is
lower semicontinuous at x.
Proposition 16.4 (6): if the subdifferential of f at x is nonempty, then f is
weakly lower semicontinuous at x.
