Convex positively one-homogeneous functional

ID: convex-positively-one-homogeneous-functional

This is a proper convex function that has degree-one positive homogeneity, with . It need not be even or nonnegative; linear functionals are examples. Its subdifferential satisfies
The two tests and prove equality; the subgradient inequality then gives the global upper bound. Conversely that bound and equality prove the subgradient condition. Hence a subgradient at also supports every nonnegative multiple of . Requiring gives an absolutely one-homogeneous functional.
