Let $x \in E$ and $\phi \in F$ with $f(x) < \infty$, then

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

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
