In geometry, a setin the Euclidean spaceis called a star domain (or star-convex set, star-shaped set[1] or radially convex set) if there exists anthe line segment fromThis definition is immediately generalizable to any real, or complex, vector space.Intuitively, if one thinks ofas a region surrounded by a wall,is a star domain if one can find a vantage pointA similar, but distinct, concept is that of a radial set.in a vector space(such as Euclidean space), the convex hull ofis called the closed interval with endpointsthe closed intervalis star shaped and is called a star domain if there exists some pointA set that is star-shaped at the origin is sometimes called a star set.[2] Such sets are closely related to Minkowski functionals.
