Reason: Initial publication: convexity of a subset of R^n, the base of the convexity layer needed for Jensen's lemma and Alexandrov's theorem.

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number, let R\mathbb{R} be the ordered field of real numbers, and regard Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n as a real vector space by Euclidean Space Rn\mathbb{R}^n is a Real Vector Space, with the sum z+zz+z' of points and the scalar multiple λz\lambda z.

A subset CRnC\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n is convex if for all x,yCx,y\in C and every tRt\in\mathbb{R} with 0t0\le t and t1t\le 1,

tx+(1t)yC.t\,x+(1-t)\,y\in C .
