what is convex region
Answers
Answer:
- A Convex set is a region such that, for every pair of points within the region, every point on the straight line segment that joins the pair of points is also within the region.
Solution:-
❥In geometry, a subset of a Euclidean space, or more generally an affine space over the reals, is convex if, given any two points, it contains the whole line segment that joins them.
❥Equivalently, a convex set or a convex region is a subset that intersect every line into a single line segment (possibly empty).
❥ For example, a solid cube is a convex set, but anything that is hollow or has an indent, for example, a crescent shape, is not convex.
❥ The boundary of a convex set is always a convex curve.
❥The boundary of a convex set is always a convex curve.
❥ The intersection of all the convex sets that contain a given subset A of Euclidean space is called the convex hull of A.
❥It is the smallest convex set containing A.
❥A convex function is a real-valued function defined on an interval with the property that its epigraph (the set of points on or above the graph of the function) is a convex set.
❥Convex minimization is a subfield of optimization that studies the problem of minimizing convex functions over convex sets.
❥The branch of mathematics devoted to the study of properties of convex sets and convex functions is called convex analysis.
