other properties of convex cones:
1. for any positive scalar α and any x \in C, the vector αx = (α/2)x + (α/2)x is in C.
2. set C is a convex cone if and only if αC = C and C + C = C.
perhaps my trouble is coming from the fact that I do not fully understand how these properties work.
well set C is a convex cone if for any x,y \in C and any scalars a≥0, b≥0, ax + by \in C
so let A and B be convex cones.
A\bigcapB would contain all elements x \in both A and B.
This is where I am having trouble.
Homework Statement
Let L(X) denote the set of limit points of a set X in R^n. How do I prove that L(AUB)=L(A)UL(B)?
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that I have to prove that both sides are subsets of each other, but I have no clue how to start...
