Suppose we have a collection of sets and a set of
linear functions
where each
being closed polyhedrons in
, i.e.,
for some
, and
and
. Moreover, for any
, and
, we have
. Then we can define function
on
such that
We further assume is convex. We now state a theorem concerning the Lipschitz constant of
.
Theorem 1 Under the above setting, given arbitrary norms
,
is
-Lipschitz continuous with respect to
and
, i.e., for all
,
Proof: By letting ,
and
. we see the inequality (1) is equivalent to
Using the property that is well-defined on
for any
, we have that there exists
and corresponding
such that
for all where
. We also let
and
. These
s have the property that
where is due to inequality (3),
is due to the definition of operator norm and
is using equality (4). This proves inequality (1).
Is there any textbook that introduce this theorem? I need a real-valued version of this theorem to cite.

I really don’t know. Perhaps too obvious for pure mathematicians.
