convex sets of geometry, one uses order-convex instead of "convex". A convex sublattice of a lattice L is a sublattice of L that is also a convex set...

In geometry, the convex hull, convex envelope or convex closure of a shape is the smallest convex set that contains it. The convex hull may be defined...

function is convex if its epigraph (the set of points on or above the graph of the function) is a convex set. In simple terms, a convex function graph...

Convex optimization is a subfield of mathematical optimization that studies the problem of minimizing convex functions over convex sets (or, equivalently...

In geometry, a convex polygon is a polygon that is the boundary of a convex set. This means that the line segment between two points of the polygon is...

a set S {\displaystyle S} in the Euclidean space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is called a star domain (or star-convex set, star-shaped set or...

logarithmically-convex. A Reinhardt domain D is called logarithmically convex if the image λ ( D ∗ ) {\displaystyle \lambda (D^{*})} of the set D ∗ = { z =...

In mathematics, convex geometry is the branch of geometry studying convex sets, mainly in Euclidean space. Convex sets occur naturally in many areas: computational...

problems in mathematical programming can be formulated as problems on convex sets or convex bodies. Six kinds of problems are particularly important:: Sec.2 ...

Examples of convex curves include the convex polygons, the boundaries of convex sets, and the graphs of convex functions. Important subclasses of convex curves...

In geometry, a set K ⊂ Rd is defined to be orthogonally convex if, for every line L that is parallel to one of standard basis vectors, the intersection...

example, every convex combination of two points lies on the line segment between the points. A set is convex if it contains all convex combinations of...

a convex subset of a real vector space such that the inverse image of any set of the form ( − ∞ , a ) {\displaystyle (-\infty ,a)} is a convex set. For...

double lattice packing density of any convex set, and more generally for the optimal packing density of any convex set. The 1000 Kwacha coin of Zambia is...

In mathematics, an extreme point of a convex set S {\displaystyle S} in a real or complex vector space is a point in S {\displaystyle S} that does not...

hull of a convex set may fail to be convex (however, the convex hull of a balanced set is always balanced). For an example, let the convex subset be S...
