Absolutely convex set

A set C in a real or complex vector space is said to be Vector eld

absolutely convex or disked if it is convex and balanced
(circled), in which case it is called a disk.

A set C is absolutely convex if and only if for any points
x1 , x2 in C and any numbers 1 , 2 satisfying |1 | +
|2 | 1 the sum 1 x1 + 2 x2 belongs to C .
Since the intersection of any collection of absolutely con-
vex sets is absolutely convex then for any subset A of a
vector space one can dene its absolutely convex hull to
be the intersection of all absolutely convex sets contain-
ing A.

2 Absolutely convex hull

The light gray area is the Absolutely convex hull of the cross.

The absolutely convex hull of the set A is dened to be

n n
absconvA = { i=1 i xi : n N, xi A, i=1 |i | 1}
