unusual facts about convex set



Banach space

It follows from the Hahn–Banach separation theorem that the weak topology is Hausdorff, and that a norm-closed convex subset of a Banach space is also weakly closed.

Covering problem of Rado

A typical setting is a finite family of convex figures in the Euclidean space Rd that are homothetic to a given X, for example, a square as in the original question, a disk, or a d-dimensional cube.
