A strict mixed convex combination lies in the relative interior of its mixed convex hull.
Theorem 18.1 in Fin n → ℝ using euclideanRelativeInterior_fin.
Theorem 18.3. Let C = conv S, where S is a set of points and directions, and let C' be a
non-empty face of C. Then C' = conv S', where S' consists of the points in S which belong
to C' and the directions in S which are directions of recession of C'.
A singleton face arises from an extreme point of a mixed convex hull.
Corollary 18.3.1. Suppose C = conv S, where S is given as a set of points S₀ and
directions S₁ (so here C = mixedConvexHull S₀ S₁). Then every extreme point of C is a point
of S (i.e. lies in S₀).
A half-line face of a mixed convex hull yields a nonzero direction from S₁.
Corollary 18.3.1. Suppose C = conv S, where S is given as a set of points S₀ and
directions S₁ (so C = mixedConvexHull S₀ S₁). If no half-line in C contains an unbounded set
of points of S (i.e. along any ray contained in C, the subset of points from S₀ is bounded),
then every extreme direction of C is a nonnegative multiple of a direction in S₁.
Lineality directions translate points of a convex set.
The midpoint of x + v and x - v lies in their open segment.
A nonzero lineality direction prevents extreme points.
Text 18.3.1. If the lineality space L of a convex set C is non-zero (equivalently: C
contains at least one line), then C has no extreme points.
For a closed set, the relative boundary is C \ ri C.
From nonconvex relative boundary, pick boundary endpoints with a relative interior point on their open segment.
If y ∈ ri C and x ∈ aff C lies outside C, then the open segment y–x meets rb C.
A closed convex set that is not affine has nonempty relative boundary.
Convexity of the relative boundary yields supporting hyperplane data.
The relative boundary of a closed convex set is not convex under the non-affine and non-closed-halfspace hypotheses.
A line segment in Euclidean space is bounded.
A relative interior point allows a small step in any affine-span direction.
