Text 19.0.3: For a polyhedral convex set C ⊆ ℝ^n, C is a cone iff it is the
intersection of finitely many closed half-spaces whose boundary hyperplanes pass through the
origin (equivalently, the inequalities are homogeneous with β i = 0).
Text 19.0.4: A convex set C ⊆ ℝ^n is called finitely generated if it is the mixed convex
hull of finitely many points and directions (Definition 17.0.4). Equivalently, there exist
vectors a₁, …, a_m and an integer k with 0 ≤ k ≤ m such that C consists exactly of all
vectors of the form x = λ₁ a₁ + ··· + λ_m a_m with λ₁ + ··· + λ_k = 1 and λ_i ≥ 0 for
i = 1, …, m.
