Talk:Convex hull

The following paragraph was in the convex article, but since it's about convex hulls it would be better suited to this convex hull article. I'm leaving it on the Talk page for now, however, as I don't think it would add anything useful to this article either. --Zundark 10:43, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

One application of convex hulls is found in efficiency frontier analysis. Efficiency is assumed to be a monotonic function of each of finitely many real variables. Each one of finitely many data points is in exactly one hull, and is considered more efficient than all data points in hulls contained within its own hull. A particle whose velocity vector has a value of a for all coordinates representing maximized variables, and a value less than a for all minimized variables, will pass through the hulls in increasing order of efficiency.
