The cone over a closed interval I of the real line is a filled-in triangle (with one of the edges being I), otherwise known as a 2-simplex (see the final example). The cone over a polygon P is a pyramid with base P. The cone over a disk is the solid cone of classical geometry (hence the concept's name). The cone over a circle given by
An affine convex cone is the set resulting from applying an affine transformation to a convex cone. [8] A common example is translating a convex cone by a point p: p + C. Technically, such transformations can produce non-cones. For example, unless p = 0, p + C is not a linear cone. However, it is still called an affine convex cone.
A topological space X is locally contractible at a point x if for every neighborhood U of x there is a neighborhood V of x contained in U such that the inclusion of V is nulhomotopic in U. A space is locally contractible if it is locally contractible at every point. This definition is occasionally referred to as the "geometric topologist's ...
Conversely, given the variety X, the face F of the nef cone determines the contraction : up to isomorphism. Indeed, there is a semi-ample line bundle L on X whose class in () is in the interior of F (for example, take L to be the pullback to X of any ample line bundle on Y).
In project management, the cone of uncertainty describes the evolution of the amount of best case uncertainty during a project. [1] At the beginning of a project, comparatively little is known about the product or work results, and so estimates are subject to large uncertainty.
The definition of a cone may be extended to higher dimensions; see convex cone. In this case, one says that a convex set C in the real vector space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is a cone (with apex at the origin) if for every vector x in C and every nonnegative real number a , the vector ax is in C .

The tangent cone serves as the extension of the notion of the tangent space to X at a regular point, where X most closely resembles a differentiable manifold, to all of X. (The tangent cone at a point of that is not contained in X is empty.) For example, the nodal curve : = +
In mathematics, specifically in order theory and functional analysis, if is a cone at the origin in a topological vector space such that and if is the neighborhood filter at the origin, then is called normal if = [], where []:= {[]:} and where for any subset , []:= (+) is the -saturatation of . [1]
