1.10 Let x and p denote the demand and production levels, respectively, and let
Z denote a standard normal random variable. Then we need p to be such
that P( p x 5) 0.01, which by the continuity of the normal random
variable is equivalent to P(x p 5) 0.01. Therefore, p must satisfy

normal distribution we have P(Z 2.3267) 0.01. Thus, we want

1.13 We need to find a positive number K that minimizes the expected total

CONVEX SETS
2.1 Let x conv( 1 S2 ) . Then there exists [0,1] and 1, S
such that x S (1 ) . Since and are both in , x xmustx 2be 1S 2
1 2 1 2 1
x x must

x x conv( 1S )
conv(S2 )S. (Alternatively, since 1 conv( 1 ) and 2 S conv(S S
2 ) , we
have S S that
or
1 S2 conv( 1 ) conv(S2 ) conv[ 1 S2 ]
S S S
conv(S ) conv(S ) .)

An example in which conv( 1 S2 ) conv( 1) conv(S2 ) is given
S S
below:

Here, conv( 1 S2 ) , while conv( 1 ) conv(S2 ) 1 in this case.
S S S

2.2 Let S be of the form S {x : Ax b} in general, where the constraints
might include bound restrictions. Since S is a polytope, it is bounded by
definition. To show that it is convex, let y and z be any points in S, and let
x y (1 )z , for 0 1 . Then we have Ay b and Az b ,
which implies that
Ax Ay (1 ) Az b (1 )b b , or that x S .
Hence, S is convex.
Finally, to show that S is closed, consider any sequence { n } x such
x
that xn S , n . Then we have A n b , n , or by taking limits as
x
n , we get Ax b , i.e., x S as well. Thus S is closed.

2.3 Consider the closed set S shown below along with conv(S) , where
conv(S ) is not closed:

, Now, suppose that S p is closed. Toward this end, consider any
sequence {xn} x , where xn conv(S) , n . We must show that
x conv(S). Since xn conv(S) , by definition (using Theorem 2.1.6),
xr S
x p1 xr for
we have that we can write , where
n nr n n

r 1,..., p 1, n , and where p1 1, n , with 0, r, n .

Since the -values as well as thexr -points belong to compact sets,
nr n
K
, r 1,..., p 1 ,
there exists a subsequence K such that { nr } r
and {xr } xr , r 1,..., p 1 . From above, we have taking limits as
n
n , n K , that
p1r p1 1, 0 , r 1,..., p 1 ,
x x , with
r r r
r1 r1
where x r S , r 1,..., p 1 since S is closed. Thus by definition,
x conv(S ) and so conv(S ) is closed.

2.7 a. Let y1 and y2 belong to AS. Thus, y1 Ax1 for some x1 S and
y2 = Ax2 for some x2 S . Consider y y1 (1 ) y2 , for any
0 1. Then y A[ x1 (1 )x 2 ]. Thus, letting
1 2 since S is convex and that
x x (1 )x , we have that x S
y Ax . Thus y AS , and so, AS is convex.

b. If 0 , then S {0}, which is a convex set. Hence, suppose that
0 . Let x1 and x2 S , where x1 S and x2 S . Consider
x x1 (1 ) x2 for any 0 1. Then, x [ x1
(1 )x 2 ] . Since 0 , we have that x x1 (1 )x 2 , or that
x S since S is convex. Hence x S for any 0 1, and
thus S is a convex set.

2.12 Let S 1S S2 . Consider any y, z S , and any (0,1) such that
y y and z z + z , with {y , z } S and {y , z } S .
y 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 2
Then 1 y (12 )z 1 y2 (1 ) 1 (1 )z 2 . Since both sets
y z S , i = 1, 2. Therefore,
S and S are convex, we have y (1 )z
1 2 i i i
y (1 )z is still a sum of a vector from 1 S and a vector from S2 ,
and so it is in S. Thus S is a convex set.
Consider the following example, where 1 and S2 are closed, and convex.

Let n

x {y y}n n
where n 1 , and {zn } S2 . Then { n } 0 where n S , n,
S x x
but 0 S . Thus S is not closed.

Next, we show that if 1 Sis compact and S2 is closed, then S is closed.
Consider a convergent sequence { n } xof points from S, and let x denote its
x y z , where for each n, y S and
limit. By definition, n n n n 1
zn S2 . Since { yn} is a sequence of points from a compact set, it must be
bounded, and hence it has a convergent subsequence. For notational
simplicity and without loss of generality, assume that the sequence {y n}
itself is convergent, and let y denote its limit. Hence, S This result y 1.
taken together with the convergence of the sequence { n} x implies that
{zn} is convergent to z, say. The limit, z, of {zn} must be in S2 , since S2
is a closed set. Thus, x y z , where y S1 and z S2 , and therefore,
x S . This completes the proof.
