An absolutely one-homogeneous functional satisfieswith . The printed strictly positive codomain cannot hold at zero; the standard interpretation is a nonnegative, possibly extended-real functional.
For , apply the subgradient inequality at :so . Apply it at and use one-homogeneity:which gives the reverse inequality. ThereforeThis is the Euler identity for a convex one-homogeneous functional; differentiability is unnecessary.
