Chapter 2Convex geometryConvexity has an immensely rich structure and numerousapplications. On the other hand, almost every “convex” idea canbe explained by a two-dimensional picture.−Alexander Barvinok [26, p.vii]As convex geometry and linear algebra are inextricably bonded by asymmetry(linear inequality), we provide much background material on linear algebra(especially in the appendices) although a reader is assumed comfortable with[331] [333] [202] or any other intermediate-level text. The essential referencesto convex analysis are [199] [307]. The reader is referred to [330] [26] [371][42] [61] [304] [358] for a comprehensive treatment of convexity. There isrelatively less published pertaining to convex matrix-valued functions. [215][203,6.6] [294]2001 Jon Dattorro. co&edg version 2010.10.26.
