"The line segment joining p* to p' is the set of points (1-a)p* + ap', 0 =< a =< 1. Note that the line segment lies entirely within S. If we examine the values of g along this segment we find by convexity that
{g[(1-a)p* + ap'] - g(p*)}/{a} >= {(1-a)g(p*) +ag(p') - g(p*)}/{a} = g(p') - g(p*) > 0 ,
as long as 0 < a =< 1. "
