Is there a difference between convex analysis and convex geometry? Perhaps the two should be merged. ??? --Kompik 10:51, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

expand?

I think this page should probably be expanded from its current 1 sentence description of convex analysis. Perhaps definition of a convex function/set should be given, as well as some basic properties and applications should be given (and mentions of main articles, for instance brief discussion of convex minimization). I would propose a structure like:

  1. Intro/Definitions (Convex set/function)
  2. Separating/Supporting hyperplane
  3. Conjugate/Biconjugate
  4. Convex Optimization

This is just off the top of my head. Does any one else have thoughts on the topic? Zfeinst (talk) 18:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
