A
function
on
a
cone
is positively homogeneous of degree one when
f
(
tX
)
=
t
f
(
X
)
for every
t
>
0
. If such
a
function
is
concave
, then
f
(
X
+
t
Y
)
≥
f
(
X
)
+
t
f
(
Y
)
,
(1)
because homogeneity rewrites the left-hand side
as
(
1
+
t
)
f
((
X
+
t
Y
)
/
(
1
+
t
))
before concavity is applied.
