About this ebook

What is Convex Hull

The convex hull, convex envelope, or convex closure of a shape is the smallest convex set that contains the shape. This concept is used in the field of geometry. It is possible to define the convex hull in two different ways: either as the intersection of all convex sets that contain a particular subset of a Euclidean space, or, more precisely, as the set of all convex combinations of points that are contained within the subset. The convex hull of a bounded subset of the plane can be seen as the form that is encompassed by a rubber band that is stretched around the subset.
