Local conicity and polyhedrality of convex sets (Q2164994)

A convex set in the \(n\)-dimensional vector space is called boundedly polyhedral (other terms: quasi-polyhedral and generalized polyhedron) if its intersection with every polytope is a polytope (possibly empty). There are various characterizations of boundedly polyhedral sets in terms of local polyhedrality and local conicity. A summary of existing and new results on local conicity of convex sets is provided. The available results on bounded polyhedrality of line-free closed convex sets are refined in terms of local conicity and local polyhedrality at their extreme points and halflines.
