Abstract
Let be a convex hypersurface (the boundary of a closed convex set with nonempty interior) in . We prove that contains no lines if and only if for every open set there exists a real-analytic convex hypersurface . We also show that contains no rays if and only if for every open set there exists a real-analytic convex hypersurface . Moreover, in both cases, can be taken strongly convex. We also establish similar results for convex functions defined on open convex subsets of , completely characterizing the class of convex functions that can be approximated in the -fine topology by smooth convex functions from above or from below. We also provide similar results for -fine approximations
