Abstract

The points on the revolution axis of a circular cone are somewhat special: they are the "most interior'' elements of the cone. This paper addresses the issue of formalizing the concept of center for a convex cone that is not circular. Four distinct proposals are studied in detail: the incenter, the circumcenter, the inner center, and the outer center. The discussion takes place in the context of a reflexive Banach space.
