In one dimension, a convex polyhedral set is an interval; in two it is a convex polygon; in three it is a convex polyhedron. In general, a set S R m is convex if it contains the line segment between …

R is a convex, b-smooth function that attains its minimum at a point x 2Rn. Assume that the initial point satisfies kx0 xk6R and f(x0) f(x) 6d. Put h = pR db, and choose t such that 1 t t = hb. …
