f
By part (a), f is a bounded continuous function, hence is Borel measurable and integrable for the given probability measure. By part (e), l∈E′, and its restriction to the unit ball is also bounded and integrable. For every u∈U, the supporting inequality says f(u)≥f(x)+l(u)−l(x). Taking expectations and using the barycentre hypothesis for this particular l gives
Ef≥f(x)+El−l(x)=f(x).
(1)
Thus Ef≥f(x)​, the Jensen inequality. This proof only uses the stated weak barycentre identity; a vector-valued integral for the identity map is not needed.
