To show the sufficiency we consider the set \( K \) of all points \( y \) of form (5). Clearly, this is a convex set; we claim it is closed. To see this we first note that any vector \( y \) which ma...

Proof. Any finite-dimensional linear space \( X \) over \( \mathbb{R} \) is isomorphic to \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) , \( n = \dim X \) ; so we may take \( X \) to be \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) .
