Abstract:
B-convexity was introduced in [2]. Continuing the investigation initiated in [3] we give complete geometric and analytic characterizations of closed and open B-halfspaces, that is, B-convex sets whose complements are also B-convex. Combined with results of [3] this yields a Hahn-Banach like Theorem in B-convexity which is the exact analog of the usual Hahn-Banach Theorem. Similar results are given in the context of Max-Plus convexity.
