By part (a), is a bounded continuous function, hence is Borel measurable and integrable for the given probability measure. By part (e), , and its restriction to the unit ball is also bounded and integrable. For every , the supporting inequality says . Taking expectations and using the barycentre hypothesis for this particular givesThus , the Jensen inequality. This proof only uses the stated weak barycentre identity; a vector-valued integral for the identity map is not needed.
