Explanation of Solution
Set of optimal solutions being convex set
- The set of optimal solution suffices to show that for 0<=k<=1, kx1 + (1‑k)x2 is also an optimal solution.
- First, kx1 +(1‑k)x2 is feasible because A(kx1 + (1‑k)x2) = kAx1 + (1‑k)Ax2 = kb + (1‑k)b = b and kx1 + (1‑k)x2>=0 follows from the non‑negativity of x1 and x2...

QUESTION 9
What is one advantage of AABB over Bounding Spheres?
Computing the optimal AABB for a set of points is easy to program and
can be run in linear time. Computing the optimal bounding sphere is a
much more difficult problem.
The volume of AABB can be an integer, while the volume of a Bounding
Sphere is always irrational.
An AABB can surround a Bounding Sphere, while a Bounding Sphere
cannot surround an AABB.
To draw a Bounding Ball you need calculus knowledge.
Why any LP with an optimal solution has an optimal basic feasible solution?
If it is possible to create an optimal solution for a problem by constructing optimal solutions for its subproblems, then the problem possesses the corresponding property. a) Subproblems which overlap b) Optimal substructure c) Memorization d) Greedy
