  2. Finite sphere packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_sphere_packing

    An arrangement in which the midpoint of all the spheres lie on a single straight line is called a sausage packing, as the convex hull has a sausage-like shape.An approximate example in real life is the packing of tennis balls in a tube, though the ends must be rounded for the tube to coincide with the actual convex hull.

  3. List of convexity topics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_convexity_topics

    Closed convex function - a convex function all of whose sublevel sets are closed sets. Proper convex function - a convex function whose effective domain is nonempty and it never attains minus infinity. Concave function - the negative of a convex function. Convex geometry - the branch of geometry studying convex sets, mainly in Euclidean space ...

  4. Convex geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_geometry

    Convex geometry is a relatively young mathematical discipline. Although the first known contributions to convex geometry date back to antiquity and can be traced in the works of Euclid and Archimedes, it became an independent branch of mathematics at the turn of the 20th century, mainly due to the works of Hermann Brunn and Hermann Minkowski in dimensions two and three.

  5. Convex set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_set

    Equivalently, a convex set or a convex region is a set that intersects every line in a line segment, single point, or the empty set. [1] [2] 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 in the plane is always a convex curve.

  7. Convex curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_curve

    A convex curve (black) forms a connected subset of the boundary of a convex set (blue), and has a supporting line (red) through each of its points. A parabola, a convex curve that is the graph of the convex function () = In geometry, a convex curve is a plane curve that has a supporting line through each of its points.

  8. Complex convexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_convexity

    In complex geometry and analysis, the notion of convexity and its generalizations play an important role in understanding function behavior. Examples of classes of functions with a rich structure are, in addition to the convex functions, the subharmonic functions and the plurisubharmonic functions.

    For example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak. Vertex figure: not itself an element of a polytope, but a diagram showing how the elements meet.
