Abstract

For an arbitrary non-empty closed convex set A in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, we prove that the polar of the difference between the barrier cone B(A)\mathbb{B}(A) and its interior int⁡(B(A))\operatorname{int}(\mathbb{B}(A)) coincides with the recession cone 0+(cl⁡(G(A)))0^+(\operatorname{cl}(\mathbb{G}(A))) of the closure of the cover G(a)\mathbb{G}(a).
