  2. Envelope (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(mathematics)

    Envelope (mathematics) Construction of the envelope of a family of curves. In geometry, an envelope of a planar family of curves is a curve that is tangent to each member of the family at some point, and these points of tangency together form the whole envelope. Classically, a point on the envelope can be thought of as the intersection of two ...

  3. Convex hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull

    The convex hull of the red set is the blue and red convex set. In geometry, the convex hull, convex envelope or convex closure[1] of a shape is the smallest convex set that contains it. The convex hull may be defined either as the intersection of all convex sets containing a given subset of a Euclidean space, or equivalently as the set of all ...

    Lower envelope. In mathematics, the lower envelope or pointwise minimum of a finite set of functions is the pointwise minimum of the functions, the function whose value at every point is the minimum of the values of the functions in the given set. The concept of a lower envelope can also be extended to partial functions by taking the minimum ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull_algorithms

    The convex hull of a simple polygon is divided by the polygon into pieces, one of which is the polygon itself and the rest are pockets bounded by a piece of the polygon boundary and a single hull edge. Although many algorithms have been published for the problem of constructing the convex hull of a simple polygon, nearly half of them are ...

  6. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing problems are a class of optimization problems in mathematics that involve attempting to pack objects together into containers. The goal is to either pack a single container as densely as possible or pack all objects using as few containers as possible. Many of these problems can be related to real-life packaging, storage and ...

  7. Optimal stopping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_stopping

    In mathematics, the theory of optimal stopping[1][2] or early stopping[3] is concerned with the problem of choosing a time to take a particular action, in order to maximise an expected reward or minimise an expected cost. Optimal stopping problems can be found in areas of statistics, economics, and mathematical finance (related to the pricing ...
