Abstract: A convex-polynomial is a convex combination of the monomials 1,x,x2,ldots. This paper establishes that the convex-polynomials on mathbbR are dense in Lp(mu) and weak∗ dense in Linfty(mu), precisely when mu([−1,infty))=0. It is shown that the convex-polynomials are dense in C(K) precisely when Kcap[−1,infty)=emptyset, where K is a compact subset of the real line. Moreover, the closure of the convex-polynomials on [−1,b] are shown to be the functions that have a convex-power series representation. A continuous linear operator T on a locally convex space X is convex-cyclic if there is a vector xinX such that the convex hull of the orbit of x is dense in X. The above results characterize which multiplication operators on various real Banach spaces are convex-cyclic. It is shown for certain multiplication operators that every closed invariant convex set is a closed invariant subspace.
