Closed convex hull of a subset of $mathbb{C}^d$












1












$begingroup$


Let $W$ be a subset of $mathbb{C}^d$ and $co (overline{W})$ be the closed convex hull of $W$ (here $overline{W}$ is the closure of $W$ with respect to the topology of $mathbb{C}^d$).




I don't understand what we mean by the closed convex hull of $W$? Also is it true that
$$co (overline{W}) subseteq W ?$$




My goal is to compare



$$sup{|lambda|_2,;lambda=(lambda_1,cdots,lambda_d) in W}$$
and
$$sup{|lambda|_2,;lambda=(lambda_1,cdots,lambda_d) in co (overline{W})},$$
where
$$|lambda|_2:=left(displaystylesum_{k=1}^d|lambda_k|^2right)^{1/2}.$$

          The closed convex hull of a set $W$ is the smallest closed convex set containing $W$. Let $R=sup{|lambda|:lambdain W}$. Then the ball around $0$ of radius $R$ is closed and convex and contains $W$. Hence $mbox{co}(overline{W})subset B_R(0)$, so $sup{|lambda|:lambdainmbox{co}(overline{W})}leq R$. Since also $Wsubsetmbox{co}(overline{W})$ we find $sup{|lambda|:lambdainmbox{co}(overline{W})}=R$.

            That is true indeed. The closure $overline{W}$ is the smallest closed set containing $W$. The argument for equality of supremum is actually the same as for $mbox{co}(overline{W})$. Try it! :)
