A proper, lower semicontinuous, convex function with no subgradient?
$begingroup$
Let $X$ be a Banach space and $f:Xto Bbb R cup{infty}$ is a proper, lower semicontinuous and convex function.
Is it possible that $partial f(x)=emptyset$ for all $xin text{dom} f$?
If $text{ int dom} fne emptyset$ then the above situation is not possible. However, I couldn't think of a counterexample for the case $text{ int dom} f = emptyset$. Does anyone know if the above statement is true or false?

$begingroup$
The domain of $partial f$ is a dense subset of $text{dom} f$, so it cannot be empty.
(See e.g. Barbu-Precupanu, Convexity and optimization in Banach spaces, Corollary 2.44.)
