A subset of Euclidean space such that a line drawn between any two points in the subset remains completely within the subset. For instance, the following two shapes are convex sets:
In contrast, the following two shapes are not convex sets:

An ML researcher confirms the feasible region of its constrained optimization is a convex set before applying gradient projection.
A risk modeling team designs its parameter constraints as a convex set so projected gradient methods stay tractable.
An operations research team validates that its allocation problem's feasible region is a convex set before applying interior-point methods.
