A subset A of a vector space V is said to be convex if lambdax+(1-lambda)y for all vectors x,y in A, and all scalars lambda in [0,1]. Via induction, this can be seen to be ...

A set X is a called a "convex cone" if for any x,y in X and any scalars a>=0 and b>=0, ax+by in X.

The convex hull of a set of points S in n dimensions is the intersection of all convex sets containing S. For N points p_1, ..., p_N, the convex hull C is then given by the ...

The problem of maximizing a linear function over a convex polyhedron, also known as operations research or optimization theory. The general problem of convex optimization is ...

A set S in a vector space over R is called a convex set if the line segment joining any pair of points of S lies entirely in S.
