Affine upper envelope
ID: affine-upper-envelope
For a bounded real function on a compact convex set, this envelope is the infimum of its continuous affine majorants. It is finite, concave and upper semicontinuous, and dominates the function. For continuous functions it describes the maximal integral among probability measures with a specified barycenter. Its homogeneity, subadditivity and affine-translation identities give the supporting measure lemma for affine upper envelopes.
