Abstract
The notion of a convex cone, which lies between that of a linear subspace and that of a convex set, is the main topic of this chapter. It has been very fruitful in many branches of nonlinear analysis. For instance, closed convex cones provide decompositions analogous to the well-known orthogonal decomposition based on closed linear subspaces. They also arise naturally in convex analysis in the local study of a convex set via the tangent cone and the normal cone operators, and they are central in the analysis of various extensions of the notion of an interior that will be required in later chapters.
