Convex Sets(chapter 2 of Convex programming) Keyur Desai Advanced Machine Learning Seminar Michigan State University
Outline • Affine sets and convex sets • Convex hull and convex cone • Hyperplane, halfspace, ball, polyhedra etc. • Operations that preserve convexity • Establishing convexity • Generalized inequalities • Minimum and Minimal • Separating and Supporting hyperplanes • Dual cones and minimum-minimal
C So C is an affine set.
Hyperplanes and halfspaces • Open halfspace: interior of halfspace
Intersection Thm: The positive semidefinite cone is convex. Q: Is polyhedra convex? Q: What property does S have? A: S is closed convex.
Generalized inequalities: Example 2.16 It can be shown that K is a proper cone; its interior is the set of coefficients of polynomials that are positive on the interval [0; 1].
Separating Hyperplane theorem Here we consider a special case,
