Convex cones in inner product spaces #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
We define set.inner_dual_cone to be the cone consisting of all points y such that for
all points x in a given set 0 ≤ ⟪ x, y ⟫.
Main statements #
We prove the following theorems:

The dual cone #
The dual cone is the cone consisting of all points y such that for
all points x in a given set 0 ≤ ⟪ x, y ⟫.
Dual cone of the convex cone {0} is the total space.
Dual cone of the total space is the convex cone {0}.
The inner dual cone of a singleton is given by the preimage of the positive cone under the
linear map λ y, ⟪x, y⟫.
The dual cone of s equals the intersection of dual cones of the points in s.
This is a stronger version of the Hahn-Banach separation theorem for closed convex cones. This is also the geometric interpretation of Farkas' lemma.
The inner dual of inner dual of a non-empty, closed convex cone is itself.
