with equality if and only if $\phi \in \partial f(x)$. with equality if and only if $\phi \in \partial f(x)$.
\end{theorem} \end{theorem}
\begin{proof} \begin{proof}
Let $x \in E$ and $\phi \in F$ with $f(x) < \infty$, then Let $x \in E$ and $\phi \in F$. Assume without loss of generality that $f(x) < \infty$, then
\[ \[
f(x) + f^*(\phi) \ge f(x) + \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x) = \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} f(x) + f^*(\phi) \ge f(x) + \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x) = \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda}
\] \]
For the equivalence, Now let $x \in E$ and $\phi \in F$ such that $\dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} = f(x) + f^*(\phi)$, then $f(x), f^*(\phi) < \infty$ and
\begin{align*} \begin{align*}
f(x) + f^*(\phi) &= \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} \\ f(x) + f^*(\phi) &= \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} \\
f^*(\phi) &= \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x) f^*(\phi) &= \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x)
\end{align*} \end{align*}
if and only if for every $h \in E$, By definition,
\[
\dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x) = f^*(\phi) = \sup_{h \in E}\dpn{x+h, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x+h)
\]
so for every $h \in E$,
\begin{align*} \begin{align*}
\dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x) &\ge \dpn{x+h, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x+h) \\ \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x) &\ge \dpn{x+h, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x+h) \\
f(x + h) - f(x) &\ge \dpn{h, \phi}{\lambda} f(x + h) - f(x) &\ge \dpn{h, \phi}{\lambda}
\end{align*} \end{align*}
if and only if $y \in \partial f(x)$. Thus $\phi$ satisfies the subgradient inequality, and $\phi \in \partial f(x)$.
On the other hand, if $f(x) < \infty$ and $\phi \in \partial f(x)$, then $f(x + h) - f(x) \ge \dpn{h, \phi}{\lambda}$ for all $h \in E$, and
\begin{align*}
f^*(\phi) &= \sup_{h \in E}\dpn{x+h, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x+h) = \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda} - f(x) \\
f^*(\phi) + f(x) &= \dpn{x, \phi}{\lambda}
\end{align*}
\end{proof} \end{proof}
