Abstract

A convex subset X of a linear topological space is called compactly convex if there is a continuous compact-valued map Φ:Xexp(X)\Phi:X\to exp(X) such that [x,y]Φ(x)Φ(y)[x,y]\subset\Phi(x)\cup \Phi(y) for all x,yXx,y\in X. We prove that each convex subset of the plane is compactly convex. On the other hand, the space R3R^3 contains a convex set that is not compactly convex. Each compactly convex subset XX of a linear topological space LL has locally compact closure Xˉ\bar X which is metrizable if and only if each compact subset of XX is metrizable.
