If a convex function lies below each member, then the convex hull of the union of their epigraphs lies in its epigraph.
Membership in the convex hull of a union of epigraphs gives a finite convex combination of epigraph points with explicit indices.
Merge a finite convex combination indexed by Fin m into a Finset-indexed form.
Finset-indexed convex combinations give points in the convex hull of the union of epigraphs.
The convex-hull function family is the greatest convex minorant.
Text 5.5.6: conv { f_i | i ∈ I } is the greatest convex function f (not necessarily
proper) on R^n such that f(x) ≤ f_i(x) for every x ∈ R^n and every i ∈ I.
Theorem 5.6: Let {f_i | i ∈ I} be a collection of proper convex functions on R^n,
and let f be the convex hull of the collection. Then
f(x) = inf { ∑_{i∈I} λ_i f_i(x_i) | ∑_{i∈I} λ_i x_i = x },
where the infimum is taken over all representations of x as a convex combination
of points x_i with only finitely many nonzero coefficients λ_i. (The formula is
also valid if one restricts x_i to lie in dom f_i.)
The singleton indicator plus a constant is a proper convex function on Set.univ.
