Vandenberghe January 4‚ 2006 Chapter 2 Convex sets Exercises Exercises Definition of convexity 2.1 Let C ⊆ Rn be a convex set‚ with x1 ‚ . . . ‚ xk ∈ C‚ and let θ1 ‚ . . . ‚ θk ∈ R satisfy θi ≥ 0‚ θ1 + · · · + θk = 1. Show that θ1 x1 + · · · + θk xk ∈ C. (The definition of convexity is that this holds for k = 2; you must show it for arbitrary k.) Hint. Use induction on k. Solution. This is readily shown by induction from the definition of convex set. We illustrate the idea for k = 3‚ leaving the
