Every nonempty compact convex subset of a Hausdorff locally convex space is the closed convex hull of its extreme points. In particular, it has an extreme point.
The Krein–Milman theorem is a fundamental result in convex analysis and functional analysis, particularly dealing with convex sets in the context of topological vector spaces. The theorem essentially provides a characterization of convex compact sets.
