Do all proper functions have an affine minorant?

180 Views Asked by At

We learned that proper functions are the functions $\ f(x):\!E \to \bar R$ where $\ domf \neq \emptyset$ and $ \ f(x) > - \infty \ \ \ \forall \ \ x\in \!E$. Do these conditions guarantee that there exists an affine minorant of $f$?

No, what about: $\mathbb R$, $f(x)=-x^2$ ?
