If $\Omega$ is a convex open set in $\mathbb{R} ^n$ and $A\subseteq \Omega$ is compact, then $x+(1-c|x-y|)(z-y)\in\Omega$ for some $c >0$ and for all $z\in \Omega$ and $x,y\in A$.
If we pick an open cover $\mathcal U =\{N(p,d(p)\}_{p\in \partial A}$ where $N(p,d(p))=\{q: |q-p|
If $\Omega$ is a convex open set in $\mathbb{R} ^n$ and $A\subseteq \Omega$ is compact, then $x+(1-c|x-y|)(z-y)\in\Omega$

0@dxiv yes, I tried answering that question to no avail. However I thought adding what I had tried would add some value to the matter, given the OP of that question posted very little background. – 2017-01-27
