{wiki=Lower_convex_envelope}
The lower convex envelope, often referred to as the convex hull of a set of points, is a fundamental concept in computational geometry and optimization. It essentially represents the smallest convex shape that can encompass a given set of points or an entire function. For a set of points in a Euclidean space, the lower convex envelope is the boundary of the convex hull that lies below the given points.
