Vandenberghe January 4‚ 2006 Chapter 2 Convex sets Exercises Exercises Definition of convexity 2.1 Let C ⊆ Rn be a convex set‚ with x1 ‚ . . . ‚ xk ∈ C‚ and let θ1 ‚ . . . ‚ θk ∈ R satisfy θi ≥ 0‚ θ1 + · · · + θk = 1. Show that θ1 x1 + · · · + θk xk ∈ C. (The definition of convexity is that this holds for k = 2; you must show it for arbitrary k.) Hint. Use induction on k. Solution. This is readily shown by induction from the definition of convex set. We illustrate the idea for k = 3‚ leaving the

the values in the population impractical or impossible. The sample represents a subset of manageable size. Samples are collected and statistics are calculated from the samples so that one can make inferences or extrapolations from the sample to the population. This process of collecting information from a sample is referred to as sampling. A complete sample is a set of objects from a parent population that includes ALL such objects that satisfy a set of well-defined selection criteria. For example

The aim of this study was to further investigate whether the interpretation of an ambiguous stimulus is influenced by immediate past experience‚ and‚ therefore‚ by the establishment of a perceptual set. It is based on an experiment conducted by Bugelski and Alampay (1961). It was hypothesized that interpretation of an ambiguous stimuli that can be perceived as either a rat or a human face will be influenced by the context under which they view the figure and their past experience with other figures
