Radial set

In mathematics, given a linear space X, a set A ⊆ X is radial at the point $x_{0}\in A$ if for every x ∈ X there exists a $t_{x}>0$ such that for every $t\in [0,t_{x}]$ , $x_{0}+tx\in A$ .^[1] Geometrically, this means A is radial at $x_{0}$ if for every x ∈ X a line segment emanating from $x_{0}$ in the direction of x lies in $A$ , where the length of the line segment is required to be non-zero but can depend on x.

The set of all points at which A ⊆ X is radial is equal to the algebraic interior.^[1]^[2] The points at which a set is radial are often referred to as internal points.^[3]^[4]

A set A ⊆ X is absorbing if and only if it is radial at 0.^[1] Some authors use the term radial as a synonym for absorbing, i. e. they call a set radial if it is radial at 0.^[5]
