Support function: Measurement, Properties & Interpretation

In mathematics, the support function hA of a non-empty closed convex set A in R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} describes the (signed) distances of supporting hyperplanes of A from the origin. The support function is a convex function on R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} . Any non-empty closed convex set A is uniquely determined by hA. Furthermore…
