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 qualitative method investigates the why and how of decision making‚ not just what‚ where‚ when. Hence‚ smaller but focused samples are more often needed than large samples.

The Army Problem Solving Process has become the rule of thumb for problem solving and is a methodological approach for making decisions. Followed correctly‚ it leads to the “best” decisions given the degree of uncertainty and complexity of a situation. The Army Problem Solving Process is a tool that provides a standard‚ systematic method to define and analyze a problem‚ gather information‚ develop criteria‚ generate and analyze possible solutions‚ choose the best solution and implement an action
