Abstract: In the recent paper cite{Aza:19} D Azagra studies the global shape of continuous convex functions defined on a Banach space $X$. More precisely, when $X$ is separable, it is shown that for every continuous convex function $f:XightarrowmathbbR$ there exist a unique closed linear subspace $Y$ of $X$, a continuous function $h:X/YightarrowmathbbR$ with the property that $li{m}_{tightarrowinfty}h(u+tv)=infty$ for all $u,vinX/Y$, $veq0$, and $x^{ast}in{X}^{ast}$ such that $f=hcircpi+x^{ast}$, where $pi:XightarrowX/Y$ is the natural projection. Our aim is to characterize those proper lower semi-continuous convex functions defined on a locally convex space which have the above representation. In particular, we show that the continuity of the function $f$ and the completeness of $X$ can be removed from the hypothesis of Azagra's theorem.
