Let , and consider the function on the chart . Given in the chart, we need to find such that
|
|
|
where is a covector, and refers to the representation of in the local coordinates ; after identifying as coordinates on the plane , we may regard as an element of , and according to the decomposition ,
|
|
|
Since the convexity of and are equivalent in the -chart if , we may assume is attained by . By the extension property and Prop. 3.19, there is some , such that
|
|
|
hence
|
|
|
Since ,
we have
Since is attained by , and the polytope lies in the half space , we have
|
|
|
Combining the above
|
|
|
so we have produced as required.
