comment When does the finite union of convex sets have a hole in it?
Man, that is a cool answer you linked to. I do have a way to test intersections, so that will do perfectly.

comment When does the finite union of convex sets have a hole in it?
1. Yes, it's the union, not the intersection of the sets (the intersection would be convex =) ). 2. Yes, I am attempting a floating-point algorithm. Rather than place restrictions on the sets, I'm hoping to use standard convex optimization techniques as a subroutine (the $\epsilon$-fudginess in these techniques is okay; I'd be fine with an algorithm that reports "the functions come within $\epsilon$ of being hole-less").
