Nov 8, 2011 at 17:54 comment added Anton Petrunin Things may depend on how the set of supporting planes is described. Is it given as normal plane to a convex hull of some finite set in $S^{n-1}$?
Nov 8, 2011 at 15:20 comment added Brian Lins Yes, the vertex is the origin
Nov 8, 2011 at 15:06 comment added Igor Rivin @Andreas: yes, of course, base was a poorly chosen term...
Nov 8, 2011 at 14:59 comment added Andreas Blass @Igor: I call that bit of a cone the vertex, and I call the other end (when there is one) the base.
