$A$ is convex $iff$ for all $s,t gt 0$ , $(s+t)A = sA + tA$












0














Let $X$ be a TVS ,and $A subset X$.



Then $A$ is convex $iff$ for all $s,t gt 0$ , $(s+t)A = sA + tA$.



If for all $s,tgt 0$ we have $(s+t)A = sA+tA$ then of course $A$ is convex.



I'm not sure about the other direction. It is always true that $(s+t)A subset sA+tA$ ,so assuming $A$ is convex I need to show the other inclusion.



Any ideas?



Thanks for helping!
