Convex body

Summary

A convex body is a compact convex set in ℝn\R^n with nonempty interior. Convex bodies are the main objects of convex geometry: balls, cubes, simplices and all convex polytopes of full dimension are examples. Volume, surface area, mixed volumes and the Brunn–Minkowski theory are all developed for convex bodies.
