A note on closedness of convex hull of sets (Q6546013)

In this short paper, the author gives some relations between closedness of Minkowski sum of sets, closedness of the convex hull of sets, and other properties of the topological vector space \(X\).\N\NConsider the convex subsets \(A\) and \(B\) of a topological vector space \(X\). The author first proves that if for the sets \(A_{1}=\left\{ 0\right\} \times A\), \(B_{1}=\left\{ 1\right\} \times B\subset\mathbb{R}\times X\mathrm{conv}\left(A_{1}\cup B_{1}\right)\) is closed, then \(A+B\) is closed. The author then points out that the converse of this expression is not true and that \(A_{1}\) and \(B_{1}\) in this expression cannot be replaced with \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) (even if \(\mathrm{A}\) and \(\mathrm{B}\) are closed bounded convex sets) and gives the necessary counterexamples. Additionally, the author points out that the closedness of the sum of the sets does not require the closedness of the convex hull of the sets.\N\NAfter that the author considers a real topological vector space \(X\) and a convex and compact \(A\) of \(X\) and states that if $B$ is closed convex and bounded subset of \(X\) then \(\mathrm{conv}\left(A\cup B\right)\) is closed. As a corollary to this statement in a reflexive Banach space \(X\), for the closed, bounded and convex subsets \(A,B\subset X\), \(\mathrm{conv}\left(A\cup B\right)\) is closed. So if \(X\) is a Banach space and for any two closed bounded and convex sets \(A,B\subset X\), the closedness of the set \(\mathrm{conv}\left(A\cup B\right)\) implies the closedness of \(A+B\), then \(X\) must be a reflexive Banach space.\N\NLet \(\mathcal{B}(X)\) be the family of all nonempty, closed, convex and bounded subsets of topological vector space \(X\). Finally the author remarks that if \(X\) is reflexive Banach space, then the structure \((\mathcal{B}(X),+,\cdot,\subset)\) is partiall ordered abstract convex cone, and for \(A,B\in\mathcal{B}(X)\) , \(\sup\{A,B\} =\mathrm{conv}(A\cup B)\).
