Let be a Borel probability measure on the compact convex set , and fix . the sublinear functional has a linear supporting functional taking the value at a specified continuous , by the Hahn-Banach theorem. It is positive and normalized because has these values on constants. The Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem gives the probability . Testing affine functions and their negatives shows that and have the same barycenter.
