Linear Programming 1

The document provides definitions and examples related to cones, convex cones, convex sets, and extreme points. It defines cones as sets containing the origin, convex cones as cones that are also convex sets, and convex sets as sets where linear combinations of points in the set are also in the set. Extreme points are points in a convex set such that they cannot be written as convex combinations of other points in the set. The document gives the x-axis as an example of a convex cone with a single extreme point at the origin. It then works through several examples of finding the extreme points and directions of polyhedral cones.

From these assumptions we have proved that (0,0) is only extreme point of a convex cone C.
