51Convex combination — Given three points x1,x2,x3 in a plane as shown in the figure, the point P is a convex combination of the three points, while Q is not. (Q is however an affine combination of the three poin …
52Convex preferences — In economics, convex preferences refer to a property of an individual s ordering of various outcomes which roughly corresponds to the idea that averages are better than the extremes . The concept roughly corresponds to the law of diminishing… …
53Convex uniform honeycomb — The alternated cubic honeycomb is one of 28 space filling uniform tessellations in Euclidean 3 space, composed of alternating yellow tetrahedra and red octahedra. In geometry, a convex uniform honeycomb is a uniform tessellation which fills three …
54Convex lattice polytope — A convex lattice polytope (also called Z polyhedron or Z polytope) is a geometric object playing an important role in discrete geometry and combinatorial commutative algebra. It is a polytope in a Euclidean space Rn which is a convex hull of… …
55Convex bipartite graph — In the mathematical field of graph theory, a convex bipartite graph is a bipartite graph with specific properties. A bipartite graph, (U ∪ V, E), is said to be convex over the vertex set U if U can be enumerated such that for all… …
56Convex regular 4-polytope — The tesseract is one of 6 convex regular 4 polytopes In mathematics, a convex regular 4 polytope is a 4 dimensional polytope that is both regular and convex. These are the four dimensional analogs of the Platonic solids (in three dimensions) and… …
57Convex body — In mathematics, a convex body in n dimensional Euclidean space Rn is a compact convex set with non empty interior. A convex body K is called symmetric if it is centrally symmetric with respect to the origin, i.e. a point x lies in K if and only… …
58convex hull — Math. the smallest convex set containing a given set; the intersection of all convex sets that contain a given set. Also called convex cover, convex span. * * * …
59Convex graph — In mathematics, a convex graph may be a convex bipartite graph a convex plane graph the graph of a convex function This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title. If an …
60convex hull — Math. the smallest convex set containing a given set; the intersection of all convex sets that contain a given set. Also called convex cover, convex span …
