Instances For
The auxiliary sequence satisfies yₙ^2 < 1.
The point qₙ lies on the boundary circle of C1.
The disk C1 is contained in the closed unit ball.
The disk C1 is contained in a closed ball of radius 2.
The segment C2 is contained in a closed ball of radius 2.
Basic properties of the convex closed hull C.
The midpoint of the vertical segment is not an extreme point of C.
The auxiliary sequence yₙ tends to 0.
The auxiliary sequence of points on the circle converges to p.
The x-coordinate of qₙ is strictly less than 1.
Any point in the convex hull of S splits into a two-piece convex combination.
On the convex hull of C2, the supporting functional is at most qₙ's x-coordinate.
The supporting functional is bounded by 1 on C.
Points of C attaining the maximum of the supporting functional are exactly qₙ.
Each point qₙ is an exposed point of C.
Each point qₙ is an extreme point of C.
A sequence of extreme points approaches p, so extremePoints is not closed.
Text 18.5.2 (Non-Closedness of the Set of Extreme Points). There exists a closed and bounded
(hence compact) convex set C ⊆ ℝ³ such that the set of its extreme points ext(C) (formalized as
C.extremePoints ℝ) is not closed.
