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:

of theinner_dual_cone
of a nonempty, closed, convex cone is itself.
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.
