Question: In Exercise 5, determine whether or not each set is compact and whether or not it is convex.

5. Use the sets from Exercise 3.

  1. Not compact but convex
  2. Compact and convex
  3. Not compact but convex
  4. Not compact and not convex
  5. Not compact but convex

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Use Exercise 3(a)

(a)

Form Exercise 3(a), it is obtained that \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):y > 0} \right\}\) is open.

This set is convex as this is not closed and thus not bounded.

Hence, the set \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):y > 0} \right\}\) is not compact but convex.

Step 2: Use Exercise 3(b)

(b)

Form Exercise 3(b), it is obtained that the set \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x = 2\,\,{\rm{and}}\,\,1 \le y \le 3} \right\}\) is closed.

This set is convex as it is closed and bounded.

Hence, the set \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x = 2\,\,{\rm{and}}\,\,1 \le y \le 3} \right\}\) is compact and convex.

Step 3: Use Exercise 3(c)

(c)

Form Exercise 3(c), it is observed that the set \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x = 2\,\,{\rm{and}}\,\,1 < y < 3} \right\}\) is neither open nor closed.

This set is convex and bounded.

Hence, \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x = 2\,\,{\rm{and}}\,\,1 < y < 3} \right\}\)not compact but convex.

Step 4: Use Exercise 3(d)

(d)

Form Exercise 3(d), it is observed that the set \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):xy = 1\,\,{\rm{and}}\,\,x > 0} \right\}\) is closed.

This set is not convex and not bounded.

Hence, \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):y > 0} \right\}\) not compact and not convex.

Step 5: Use Exercise 3(e)

(e)

Form Exercise 3(e), it is observed that the set \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):xy \ge 1\,\,{\rm{and}}\,\,x > 0} \right\}\) is closed.

This set is convex and not bounded.

Hence, \(\left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):y > 0} \right\}\) is not compact but convex.
