Effective Domain Convex Function
0
$begingroup$
Let $f:mathbb{R}^nrightarrow mathbb{R}cup {pm infty}$ and let $S(f):={x ∈R^n | f(x) < +∞}$ (effective domain)
How can I prove that $S(f)$ is convex doesn't imply that $f$ is convex?
Attempt:
I'm thinking of showing that $S(f)$ can vary depending whether $f(x)$ is a proper or improper function?

Can you give an example where $S(f)not = mathbb{R}^n$?

I'm assuming f(x) is always a real number or $pm∞$ so, no?

You should mention that $f:mathbb{R}^nrightarrow mathbb{R}cup {pm infty}$. Also please explain how $S(f)$ is a subset of $P(f)$, they have different dimensions...

You're right. My bad, edited. Ignore my assumptions; only assumed that $S(f)$ is a subset of $P(f)$ on $R^n$

The solution is not that hard now. If $f$ never get the value infinity then $S(f)=mathbb{R}^n$ (which is convex). So just find a function $f:mathbb{R}^nrightarrowmathbb{R}$ which is not convex.
