Quasi-relative interior

From HandWiki
Short description: Generalization of algebraic interior

In topology, a branch of mathematics, the quasi-relative interior of a subset of a vector space is a refinement of the concept of the interior. Formally, if [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is a linear space then the quasi-relative interior of [math]\displaystyle{ A \subseteq X }[/math] is [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{qri}(A) := \left\{x \in A : \operatorname{\overline{cone}}(A - x) \text{ is a linear subspace}\right\} }[/math] where [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{\overline{cone}}(\cdot) }[/math] denotes the closure of the conic hull.[1]

Let [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is a normed vector space, if [math]\displaystyle{ C \subseteq X }[/math] is a convex finite-dimensional set then [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{qri}(C) = \operatorname{ri}(C) }[/math] such that [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{ri} }[/math] is the relative interior.[2]
