Distance between two convex sets
Setting
If $A$ an $B$ are two symmetric matrices, we denote by $A >B$ when the matrice $A-B$ is definite positive.
In $\left(\mathbb{R}^{*}_{+} \right)^4$, consider the convex set $$ \Lambda = \...

Continuous maps which send intervals of $\mathbb{R}$ to convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^2$
Let $f : \mathbb{R} \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ be a continuous map which sends any interval $I \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ to a convex subset $f(I)$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Is it true that there must be a ...
