We say that a set S βŠ† β„‚ is π›Œ-convex if, whenever a and b are in S, the point (1- π›Œ)a + π›Œb is also in S. If S is also (topologically) closed, then we say that S is π›Œ-clonvex. We investigate the properties of π›Œ-convex and π›Œ-clonvex sets and prove a number of facts about them. Letting R_π›Œ βŠ† β„‚ be the least π›Œ-clonvex superset of {0,1}, we show that if R_π›Œ is convex in the usual sense, then R_π›Œ must be either [0,1] or ℝor β„‚, depending on π›Œ. We investigate which π›Œ make R_π›Œ convex, derive a number of conditions equivalent to R_π›Œ being convex, give several conditions sufficient for R_π›Œ to be convex or not convex in particular, R_π›Œ is either convex or discrete, and investigate the properties of some particular discrete R_π›Œ, as well as other π›Œ-convex sets. Our work combines elementary concepts and techniques from algebra and plane geometry.en-USSome properties of sets in the plane closed under linear extrapolation by a fixed parameterArticle186485
