* Mark Lutz author of several Python programming language books worked at Convex.

Convex polytopes play an important role both in various branches of mathematics and in applied areas, most notably in linear programming.

* Convex cone, a subset C of a vector space V is a convex cone if αx + βy belongs to C, for any positive scalars α, β, and any x, y in C

Convex lenses produce an image of an object at infinity at their focus ; if the sun is imaged, much of the visible and infrared light incident on the lens is concentrated into the small image.

The earliest known citation on the Internet is from 1986 on Usenet in the signature of a poster from Convex Computer Corporation as "' I think there is a world market for about five computers ' — Remark attributed to Thomas J. Watson ( Chairman of the Board of International Business Machines ), 1943 ".

There is a mailing list of Convex ex-employees, as well as frequent reunions.

* Co-founder Steve Wallach is well known for his work at Data General, Convex, Convey Computer Corporation and other companies.

Convex plasmolysis is always irreversible while concave plasmolysis is usually reversible.

* Convex polygon, a polygon which is not concave

The Computer History Museum has examples of the FX / 8 and FX / 1 ( from Convex Computer Corporation after Alliant's fall ), but is seeking examples of FX / 80 and FX / 2800 configurations.

In that scene Convex tells Max about the " Image Accumulator ," ( which is the device placed on Max's head during his meeting with Convex ) an experimental new form of night vision that can work in zero-light conditions.

# Convex if for each x and y in C, tx +( 1 – t ) y is in C for all t in the unit interval, that is whenever 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

# Convex grind — Rather than tapering with straight lines to the edge, the taper is curved, though in the opposite manner to a hollow grind.

Convex cloissoné is produced by overfilling each cloison, at the last firing.

Convex and Concave is a lithograph print by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher, first printed in March 1955.

* Convex bipartite graph, a special kind of bipartite graph

In order to lower costs, the Convex designs were not as technologically aggressive as Cray's, and were based on more mainstream chip technology, attempting to make up for the loss in performance in other ways.

Convex lasted longer than most minisupercomputer companies, and to celebrate this and more so to remind themselves of the difficulties of the market, Convex had a graveyard of former competitor companies on its property.

He has published more than twenty volumes of poetry and won nearly every major American award for poetry, including a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for his collection Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror.

: Convex mirrors provide a wider field of view than flat mirrors, and are often used on vehicles, especially large trucks, to minimize blind spots.

* Convex conjugate, the (" dual ") lower-semicontinuous convex function resulting from the Legendre – Fenchel transformation of a " primal " function

Convex angles have somewhat convex sides and open to the lateral ( outer ) area of the tusk.

* Convex hull: Given a set of points, find the smallest convex polyhedron / polygon containing all the points.

* Convex function, a function whose epigraph forms a convex set

* Convex polytope, a polytope which forms a convex set.

* Convex hull, the minimal convex set containing a set of points X

* Convex plane graph, a plane graph with convex faces

* Convex optimization, a subfield of optimization, studies the problem of minimizing convex functions

* Convex geometry, the branch of geometry studying convex sets, mainly in Euclidean space

** Convex curve, the boundary of a convex set

** Convex body, a compact convex set with non-empty interior

* Convex preferences, a preference relation with convex upper contour sets

Convex minimization, a subfield of optimization, studies the problem of minimizing convex functions over convex sets.

In his book Convex polytopes, Grünbaum defines a convex polytope as a compact convex set with a finite number of extreme points:

Category: Convex optimization

Convex polytopes are equivalent to tilings of the sphere, while others may be tilings of other elliptic, flat or toroidal surfaces – see elliptic tiling and toroidal polyhedron.

* Convex: any line drawn through the polygon ( and not tangent to an edge or corner ) meets its boundary exactly twice.

Their commercial development came in work by Burroughs ( later Unisys ), Convex Computer ( later Hewlett-Packard ), Honeywell Information Systems Italy ( HISI ) ( later Groupe Bull ), Silicon Graphics ( later Silicon Graphics International ), Sequent Computer Systems ( later IBM ), Data General ( later EMC ) and Digital ( later Compaq, now HP ) during the 1990s.

Convex Computer Corporation was a company that developed, manufactured and marketed vector minisupercomputers and supercomputers for small-to-medium-sized businesses.

Convex 240 supercomputer.

Convex was formed in 1982 by Bob Paluck and Steve Wallach in Richardson, Texas.

The machines ran a BSD version of Unix known initially as Convex Unix then later as ConvexOS due to trademark and licensing issues.

However, the C3 and the Convex business model were overtaken by changes in the computer industry.

By this time, even though Convex was the first vendor to ship a GaAs based product, they were losing money.

In 1994, Convex introduced an entirely new design, known as the Exemplar.

But the type of customers Convex attracted believed in Fortran and brute force rather than sophisticated technology.

Eventually, Convex established a working partnership with HP's hardware and software divisions.

In 1995, Hewlett-Packard bought Convex.

HP sold Convex Exemplar machines under the S-Class ( MP ) and X-Class ( CC-NUMA ) titles, and later incorporated some of Exemplar's technology into the V-Class machine, which was released running the HP-UX 11. 0 release instead of the SPP-UX version which was sold with the S-and X-Class products.

According to most former employees, Convex was a very fun place at which to work.

Convex had an unusually thorough interview process, which, for technical positions, included a grilling by a group of engineers.
