Convex Hull

[previous page] [next page] [table of contents][page overview]

The convex hull of a subset $ M$ of real vector space $ V$ is the set of all convex combinations

$\displaystyle \lambda_1 v_1 + \lambda_2 v_2 +\dots + \lambda_m v_m $

with $ v_i\in M$. It is denoted by $ \operatorname{conv}(M)$.
