In the present work we study properties of generally convex sets in the n-dimensional real Euclidean space Rn, (n>1), known as weakly m-convex, m=1,...,n-1. An open set of Rn 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 Rn 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 Rn 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 Rn 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 Rn with non-empty set of m-nonconvexity points are constructed for any n>2 and any m=1,...,n-1.
The present work considers the properties of generally convex sets in the plane known as weakly 1-convex. An open set is called weakly 1-convex if for any boundary point of the set there exists a straight line passing through this point and not intersecting the given set. A closed set is called weakly 1-convex if it is approximated from the outside by a family of open weakly 1-convex sets. A point of the complement of a set to the whole plane is called a 1-nonconvexity point of the set if any straight passing through the point intersects the set. It is proved that if an open, weakly 1-convex set has a non-empty set of 1-nonconvexity points, then the latter set is also open. It is also shown that the non-empty interior of a closed, weakly 1-convex set in the plane is weakly 1-convex.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
