For example, if my function is:



f(x) = 3



How do I establish if it's positively homogeneous or not?

  • Show that $f(alpha x)=alpha^kf(x) $ for some $alpha>0$ and $kinmathbb{R}$

  • Actually I stated it wrong. We show that $f(alpha x)=alpha^kf(x)$ for all $alpha>0$ and for some $kinmathbb{R}$. So if $alpha=1$ then its trivial. If not then take $k=0$. The function is positively homogenous.
