The convex hull of a subset S of $R^n$ is the set of all convex combinations of finitely many points of S.

Statement

In the setting of Convex Sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ : Standing Notation, with the convex hull $\operatorname{conv}$ and the standard simplices $\Delta_{N}$ , let $S\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ .

Convex hull as convex combinations. $\operatorname{conv}S$ is the set of all convex combinations of finitely many points of $S$ :

\operatorname{conv}S=\Bigl\{\sum_{k=1}^{N}t_{k}x_{k}:\ N\in\mathbb{N},\ x_{1},\dots,x_{N}\in S,\ t\in\Delta_{N}\Bigr\}.
