Weak compactness of sublevel sets

In this paper we provide a short proof of the fact that if X is a Banach space and f:X \to \mathbb{R} \cup \{\infty \} is a proper function such that f-x^* attains its minimum for every x^* \in X^*, then all the sublevels of f are relatively weakly compact. This result has many applications.
