Extreme point

An "extreme point" can refer to different concepts depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few interpretations: 1. **Mathematics (Geometry)**: In the context of convex sets, an extreme point of a convex set is a point in that set that cannot be expressed as a convex combination of other points in the set. For example, in a polygon, the vertices are extreme points because they cannot be represented as a combination of other points in the polygon.
