Many problems in mathematical programming can be formulated as problems on convex sets or convex bodies. Six kinds of problems are particularly important:[1]: Sec.2  optimization, violation, validity, separation, membership and emptiness. Each of these problems has a strong (exact) variant, and a weak (approximate) variant.
