“algebraic openness” of the epigraph of a sublinear function












3












$begingroup$


Let $X$ be a real linear space, $p:X rightarrow mathbb{R}$ a sub-linear function, i.e:
$$forall x,yin X;p(x)+p(y) geq p(x+y)$$
$$forall lambda geq 0,x in X ; p(lambda x)=lambda p(x)$$
Consider the strict upper epigraph:
$$Gamma^+(p)={(x,y) ,vert, x in X,y > f(x)} subseteq Xtimesmathbb{R}$$
One sees that $p$ is convex and thus $Gamma^+(p)$ is convex.
My question is about it's "algebraic openness", formally define that $v in Gamma^+(p)$ is an internal point if for all $u in Xtimes mathbb{R}$ there exists $delta_0 >0$ so that for all $vert delta vert leq delta_0$ we have $v+delta u in Gamma^+(p)$. My Question is whether it is true that every point in $Gamma^+(p)$ is an internal point. For those who are curious this is for an application of the Geometric version of the Hahn Banach Theorem.



Any help is appreciated. Thanks



Note: an affirmative answer is tempting since for $X=mathbb{R^n}$, $p$ is continues and thus it's strict epigraph is (topologically and thus "algebraically") open

          Turns out this questions isn't so hard, I solved it after having another go at it.
          As I mentioned the topology here is a starting pont. But since we are only talking internal points, we can use the topology on one dimension at a time.



          Let $(x,y)in Gamma^+(p),; y>p(x)$. Let $(w,r) in X times mathbb{R}$ be some vector. Note that $p(x+tw)$ is a continues function of $t$ at $0$ since:
          $$p(x+tw) leq p(x) + p(tw) = p(x) + vert t vert p(sign(t)x) underset{t rightarrow 0}{rightarrow} p(x)$$
          Similarly,
          $$p(x+tw) geq p(x) - p(tw) = p(x) - vert t vert p(sign(t)x) underset{t rightarrow 0}{rightarrow} p(x)$$
          and so $p(x+tw) underset{t rightarrow 0}{rightarrow} p(x)$. Since $y > p(x)$ we can
          take $delta_0$ small enough so that for all $vert delta vert < delta_0$ we have $p(x+delta w) < y$. Now let's check the definition of $(x,y)$ being internal: we want:
          $$p(x+ delta w) underset{?}{<} y + delta r$$
          But for $delta_0$ even smaller we can guarantee it, since $p(x+delta w) < y$ and $r$ is constant. $blacksquare$
