Let $E$ be a vector space over $K \in \RC$, then $A \subset E$ is \textbf{convex} if for any $x, y \in A$, $\bracs{\lambda x + (1 - \lambda) y| \lambda \in [0, 1]} \subset A$. Let $E$ be a vector space over $K \in \RC$, then $A \subset E$ is \textbf{convex} if for any $x, y \in A$, $\bracs{\lambda x + (1 - \lambda) y| \lambda \in [0, 1]} \subset A$.
\end{definition} \end{definition}
\begin{lemma}[{{\cite[II.1.1]{SchaeferWolff}}}]
\label{lemma:convex-interior}
Let $E$ be a TVS over $K \in \RC$, $A \subset E$ be convex, $x \in A^o$, and $y \in \ol{A}$, then
\[
\bracs{tx + (1 - t)y|t \in (0, 1)} \subset A^o
\]
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Fix $t \in (0, 1)$. Using translation, assume without loss of generality that $tx + (1 - t)y = 0$. In which case, $x = \alpha y$ where $\alpha = (1 - t)/t$. By (TVS2), $\alpha A^o \in \cn^o(y)$. Since $y \in \ol{A}$, $\alpha A^o \cap A \ne \emptyset$, so there exists $z \in A^o$ such that $\alpha z \in A$.
Let $\mu = \alpha/(\alpha - 1)$, then since $\alpha < 0$, $\mu \in (0, 1)$ and
\[
\mu z + (1 - \mu)\alpha z = \frac{\alpha z}{\alpha - 1} + \frac{(\alpha - 1 - \alpha)\alpha z}{\alpha - 1} = 0
\]
By (TVS1) and (TVS2),
\[
U = \underbrace{\bracs{\mu w + (1 - \mu)\alpha z|w \in A^o}}_{\subset A} \in \cn^o(0)
\]
so $0 \in A^o$.
\end{proof}
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma:convex-gymnastics}
Let $E$ be a TVS over $K \in \RC$, $A, B \subset E$ be convex, then the following sets are convex:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $A^o$.
\item $\ol{A}$.
\item $A + B$.
\item For any $\lambda \in K$, $\lambda A$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
(1): By \ref{lemma:convex-interior}.
(2): Let $x, y \in \ol{A}$. By \ref{definition:closure}, there exists filters $\fF, \mathfrak{G} \subset 2^A$ such that $\fF$ converges to $x$ and $\mathfrak{G}$ converges to $y$. In which case,
\[
\fU = \bracs{tE + (1 - t)F|t \in [0, 1], E \in \fF, F \in \mathfrak{G}} \subset 2^A
\]
converges to $tx + (1 - t)y$ by (TVS1) and (TVS2). Hence $tx + (1 - t)y \in \ol{A}$.
\end{proof}
\begin{proposition}[{{\cite[II.1.3]{SchaeferWolff}}}]
\label{proposition:convex-interior-closure}
Let $E$ be a TVS over $K \in \RC$ and $A \subset E$ be convex. If $A^o \ne \emptyset$, then $\ol{A} = \ol{A^o}$.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
Since $A^o \subset A$, $\ol{A^o} \subset \ol{A}$. Let $x \in A^o$, then for any $y \in \ol{A}$,
\[
y \in \ol{\bracs{tx + (1 - t)y|t \in (0, 1)}} \subset \ol{A^o}
\]
by \ref{lemma:convex-interior}.
\end{proof}
