Chapter 2<strong>Convex</strong> geometry<strong>Convex</strong>ity has an immensely rich structure and numerousapplications. On the other hand, almost every “convex” idea canbe explained by a two-dimensional picture.−Alexander Barvinok [17, p.vii]There is relatively less published pertaining to matrix-valued convex sets andfunctions. [133] [126,6.6] [185] As convex geometry and linear algebra areinextricably bonded, we provide much background material on linear algebra(especially in the appendices) although it is assumed the reader is comfortablewith [212], [214], [125], or any other intermediate-level text. The essentialreferences to convex analysis are [123] [194]. The reader is referred to [210][17] [242] [27] [38] [191] [231] for a comprehensive treatment of convexity.2001 Jon Dattorro.
