Coordinate projections are convex on ℝ^n.
Text 5.5.0.1: The function f which assigns to each x = (xi_1, ..., xi_n) the
greatest of the components xi_j of x is convex.
Text 5.5.0.2: The function f which assigns to each x = (xi_1, ..., xi_n) the
greatest of the components xi_j of x is positively homogeneous.
Text 5.5.0.3: The function f which assigns to each x = (xi_1, ..., xi_n) the
greatest of the components xi_j of x is the support function of the simplex
C = { y = (eta_1, ..., eta_n) | eta_j ≥ 0, eta_1 + ... + eta_n = 1 }.
Text 5.5.0.5: The function k(x) = max { |xi_j| | j = 1, ..., n } is the support
function of the convex set D = { y = (eta_1, ..., eta_n) | |eta_1| + ... + |eta_n| ≤ 1 }.
Text 5.5.0.6: The function k(x) = max { |xi_j| | j = 1, ..., n } is the gauge of the
n-dimensional cube E = { x = (xi_1, ..., xi_n) | -1 ≤ xi_j ≤ 1, j = 1, ..., n }.
Text 5.5.1: For a function g, define f x = inf { μ | (x, μ) ∈ conv (epi g) }.
Then f is called the convex hull of g, and is denoted f = conv(g).

Text 5.5.2: If f = conv(g) is the convex hull of g, then f is a convex function.
Text 5.5.3: f = conv(g) is the greatest convex function majorized by g.
