The affine hull and convex hull are closely related concepts. Let be a set in . The affine hull of is the set of all affine combinations of elements of : The convex hull of is the set of all convex combinations of the elements of : Putting the definitions side by side, we see […]
Affine hull vs. convex hull
Consider an optimization problem in standard form: with the variable . Let be the domain for , i.e. the intersection of the domains of the ‘s and the ‘s. Let denote the optimal value of the problem. The Lagrange dual function is the function defined as the minimum value of the Lagrangian over : The […]
