The dynamic convex hull problem is a class of dynamic problem algorithms dynamic problem s in computational geometry . The problem consists in the maintenance, i.e., keeping track, of the convex hull for the dynamically changing input data, i.e., when input data elements may be inserted, deleted, or modified. Problems of this class may be distinguished by the types of the input data and the allowed types of modification of the input data. Planar point set It is easy to construct an example for which the convex hull contains all input points, but after the insertion of a single point the convex hull becomes a triangle. And conversely, the deletion of a single point may produce the opposite drastic change of the size of the output. Therefore if the convex hull is required to be reported in traditional way as a polygon, the lower bound for the worst case computational complexity of the recomputation of the convex hull is math Omega N math , since this time is required for a mere reporting of the output. This lower bound is attainable, because several general purpose convex hull algorithms run in linear time when input points are sorting ordered in some way and logarithmic time methods ... of the convex hull in an amount of time per update that is much smaller than linear.

In geometry , a triangulation is a subdivision of a geometric object into simplex simplices . In particular, in the plane it is a subdivision into triangle s, hence the name. Triangulation of a 3 dimensional volume would involve subdividing it into tetrahedrons pyramids of various shapes and sizes packed together. In most instances the triangles of a triangulation are required to meet edge to edge and vertex to vertex. Different types of triangulation may be defined, depending both on what geometric object is to be subdivided and on how the subdivision is determined. A triangulation T of math mathbb R n 1 math is a subdivision of math mathbb R n 1 math into n 1 dimensional simplex simplices such that any two simplices in T intersect in a common face a simplex of any lower dimension or not at all, and any bounded set in math mathbb R n 1 math intersects only finite set finite ly many simplices in T .

Other uses Defect disambiguation Defect In geometry , the angular defect or deficit or deficiency means the failure of some angles to add up to the expected amount of 360 or 180 , when such angles in the plane would. The opposite notion is the excess. Classically the defect arises in two ways the defect of a vertex of a polyhedron the defect of a hyperbolic triangle and the excess arises in one way the excess of a spherical triangle . In the plane, angles about a point add up to 360 , while interior angles in a triangle add up to 180 equivalently, exterior angles add up to 360 . However, on a convex polyhedron the angles at a vertex on average add up to less than 360 , on a spherical triangle the interior angles always add up to more than 180 the exterior angles add up to less than 360 , and the angles in a hyperbolic triangle always add up to less than 180 the exterior angles add up to more than 360 . In modern terms, the defect at a vertex or over a triangle with a minus is precisely the curvature at that point or the total integrated over the triangle, as established by the Gauss Bonnet theorem . Defect of a vertex The defect of a vertex of a polyhedron is the amount by which the sum of the angles of the faces at the vertex falls short of a full circle. If the sum of the angles exceeds a full circle, as occurs in some vertices of most not all non convex polyhedra, then the defect is negative. If a polyhedron is convex, then the defects of all of its vertices are positive.

In mathematics , uniformly convex spaces are common examples of reflexive space reflexive Banach space s. The concept of uniform convexity was first introduced by James A. Clarkson in 1936. Definition A uniformly convex space is a normed vector space so that, for every math epsilon 0 math there is some math delta 0 math so that for any two vectors with math x 1 math and math y 1, math math x y 2 delta math implies math x y epsilon. math Intuitively, the center of a line segment inside the unit ball must lie deep inside the unit ball unless the segment is short. Properties The Milman Pettis theorem states that every uniformly convex Banach space is reflexive space reflexive , while the converse is not true. If math f n n 1 infty math is a sequence in a uniformly convex Banach space which converges weakly to math f math and satisfies math f n to f math , then math f n math converges strongly to math f math , that is, math f n f to 0 math . A Banach space math X math is uniformly convex if and only if its dual math X math is uniformly smooth . Examples Every Hilbert space is uniformly convex. Hanner s inequalities imply that lp space L sup p sup spaces math 1 p infty math are uniformly convex. Conversely, math L infty math is not uniformly convex. For example, in math mathbb R 2 math consider math x 1,1 math and math y 0,1 math . Then math x infty y infty 1 math and math x y infty 1,2 infty 2 math , but math x y infty 1,0 infty 1 math .

For instance, in analytic geometry , a line in the plane is often defined as the set of points whose coordinates satisfy a given linear equation , but in a more abstract setting, such as incidence geometry , a line may be an independent object, distinct from the set of points which lie on it.
