On the stability of the Motzkin representation of closed convex sets (Q2436679): Difference between revisions

A nonempty set \(F\subset \mathbb R^n\) is called Motzkin decomposable when it can be expressed as the Minkowski sum of a~compact convex set with a~closed convex cone. The main objective of this paper is the study of the stability properties of the sum of a compact convex set with a closed convex cone when one of these two sets, or both, are subject to small perturbations. In particular, the continuity of the set-valued mapping associating to each couple \((C, D)\) formed by a compact convex set~\(C\) and a closed convex cone~\(D\) its Minkowski sum \(C + D\) is examined. This problem can be seen as a particular case of the following one: studying the stability of the feasible set for the different types of representations of closed convex sets. The stability of the feasible set mapping for Motzkin representations of those closed convex sets which are Motzkin decomposable is also studied.
