For existence, choose maximizing , where lies in the interior of the dominant chamber. If for a simple root , thencontradicting maximality. Hence is dominant.
For uniqueness, suppose and are dominant and . Part (c) writes as a product of simple reflections fixing , so . Every Weyl orbit therefore has exactly one representative in the closed dominant chamber.
