Convex bodies #
This file contains the definition of the type ConvexBody V
consisting of
convex, compact, nonempty subsets of a real topological vector space V
.
ConvexBody V
is a module over the nonnegative reals (NNReal
) and a pseudo-metric space.
If V
is a normed space, ConvexBody V
is a metric space.
TODO #
- define positive convex bodies, requiring the interior to be nonempty
- introduce support sets
- Characterise the interaction of the distance with algebraic operations, eg
dist (a • K) (a • L) = ‖a‖ * dist K L
,dist (a +ᵥ K) (a +ᵥ L) = dist K L

convex, convex body
Let V
be a real topological vector space. A subset of V
is a convex body if and only if
it is convex, compact, and nonempty.
- carrier : Set V
The carrier set underlying a convex body: the set of points contained in it
A convex body has convex carrier set
A convex body has compact carrier set
A convex body has non-empty carrier set

Let K
be a convex body that contains 0
and let u n
be a sequence of nonnegative real
numbers that tends to 0
. Then the intersection of the dilated bodies (1 + u n) • K
is equal
to K
