Topological properties of closed weakly m-semiconvex sets

Abstract: The present work considers the properties of generally convex sets in the

n

-dimensional real Euclidean space

m a t h b b R^{n}

,

n > 1

, known as weakly

m

-convex,

m = 1, 2, l d o t s, n - 1

. An open set of

m a t h b b R^{n}

is called weakly

m

-convex if for any boundary point of the set there exists an

m

-dimensional plane passing through this point and not intersecting the given set. A closed set of

m a t h b b R^{n}

is called weakly

m

-convex if it is approximated from the outside by a family of open weakly

m

-convex sets. A point of the complement of a set of

m a t h b b R^{n}

to the whole space is called an

m

-nonconvexity point of the set if any

m

-dimensional plane passing through the point intersects the set. It is proved that any closed, weakly

(n - 1)

-convex set in

m a t h b b R^{n}

with non-empty set of

(n - 1)

-nonconvexity points consists of not less than three connected components. It is also proved that the interior of a closed, weakly

1

-convex set with a finite number of components in the plane is weakly

1

-convex. Weakly

m

-convex domains and closed connected sets in

m a t h b b R^{n}

with non-empty set of

m

-nonconvexity points are constructed for any

n g e 3

and any

m = 1, 2, l d o t s, n - 2

.
