Absolutely convex set
A set C in a real or complex vector space is said to be absolutely convex or disked if it is convex and balanced (circled), in which case it is called a disk.
Properties
A set is absolutely convex if and only if for any points in and any numbers satisfying the sum belongs to .
Since the intersection of any collection of absolutely convex sets is absolutely convex then for any subset A of a vector space one can define its absolutely convex hull to be the intersection of all absolutely convex sets containing A.
Absolutely convex hull
The absolutely convex hull of the set A is defined to be
.
