For an arbitrary non-empty closed convex set A in Rn, we prove that the polar of the difference between the barrier cone B(A) and its interior int(B(A)) coincides with the recession cone 0+(cl(G(A))) of the closure of the cover G(a).
Keywords: Convex set, barrier cone, recession cone, cover, polar cone.
