The existence of a linear functional that is bounded above by a given sublinear functional in a real vector space is guaranteed by the Hahn—Banach theorem. We first replace the role of the sublinear functional with a certain convex function whose effective domain has nonempty algebraic interior (not necessarily containing the null vector) and satisfies a condition on some of its slopes, and determine the compactness for an adequate topology of the set of the corresponding bounded above linear functionals. Then, we state a Hahn—Banach-type result by characterizing the existence of a function in a pointwise compact topological space of functions and satisfying a boundedness condition, which extends the Hahn—Banach theorem to a nonlinear framework. As a consequence, we derive some results in optimization, as a nonlinear Gordan’s theorem of the alternative.
