I will approach the theme following these basic theological pointers: (a)...
Starshapedness is a generalization of convexity. A set C is convex if $${\forall x\in C}$$ and $${\forall y\in C}$$ the segment $${[x:y]\subset C}$$ . On the other hand, a set S is starshaped if $${\exists y\in S}$$ such that $${\forall x\in S}$$ the segment $${[x:y]\subset S}$$ . Due to these closely related definitions, convex and starshaped sets have many similarities,...
