Every radial set is a star domain although not conversely.
[edit]This seems wrong given the current definition. I think the definition needs to be stronger for that. I think one needs something like
(I) ∃a₀∈A ∀x∈X ∃tₓ>0 : {a₀ + t⋅x∣t∈[0,tₓ]} = {a₀+t⋅x∣t≥0}∩A
instead of just
(II) ∃a₀∈A ∀x∈X ∃tₓ>0 : {a₀ + t⋅x∣t∈[0,tₓ]}⊆A
Otherwise, consider a U-shape. This is clearly not a star domain. But given a point in the upper left corner, it appears that (II) is satisfied.
n-lab also gives a different definition: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/radial+set
One can augment this definition by saying that A is radial around a₀∈A, iff r⋅(A-a₀) ⊆ A-a₀ for all r∈[0,1]. This should be equivalent to (I) and not (II). Rslz (talk) 19:03, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
