    Combination Convex
AI Thread Summary
If S is a convex set and x1, x2, x3, ..., xn are elements in S, then their convex combination also belongs to S. The proof involves showing that if x is defined as a convex combination of these elements, it can be expressed in terms of other convex combinations that maintain the conditions of convexity. By adjusting the coefficients of the combination while ensuring they remain non-negative and sum to one, it can be demonstrated that the resulting element is still within the set S. This reasoning can be generalized for any number of elements in the convex set. Thus, every convex combination of elements in a convex set is indeed contained within that set.

I quote a question from Yahoo! Answers

I need to Show the Following
if S is a convex set and x1, x2, x3, . . . xn are n elements in S then Their convex combination is also in S .
Please help me .
Thanxs

I have given a link to the topic there so the OP can see my response.

Firstly, we prove that if $x=\alpha_1x_1+\alpha_2x_2+\alpha_3x_3$ for $\alpha_i\ge 0$ and $\sum_i\alpha_i=1$, then $x\in S$. Consider $$\alpha'_i=\frac{\alpha_i}{\alpha_1+\alpha_2} \quad (i=1,2)$$ Note that $\sum_i\alpha'_i=1$ and $\alpha'_i\ge 0.$ We have $$x=\alpha_1x_1+\alpha_2x_2+\alpha_3x_3=(\alpha_1+\alpha_2)(\alpha'_1x_1+\alpha'_2x_2)+\alpha_3x_3$$ By hypothesis $\alpha'_1x_1+\alpha'_2x_2\in S.$ Denote $x_4=\alpha'_1x_1+\alpha'_2x_2$, then $$x=(\alpha_1+\alpha_2)x_4+\alpha_3$$ But $x$ is a convex combination of two elements of $S$, so $x\in S.$ This argument can be generalized for any $i$.
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
