Let S be a subset of some linear topological space. The set S is said to be m-convex, m ≧ 2, if and only if for every m-member subset of line segments determined by these points lies in S. A point x in S is called a point of local convexity of S if and only if there is some neighborhood N of x such that if y, zNS, then [y, z]S. If S fails to be locally convex at some point q in S, then q is called a point of local nonconvexity (lnc point) of S.
