Intersections of convex sets are convex

Any intersection of convex sets is convex
Intersections of convex sets are convex

Proposition. Let {Ωi}iI\{\Omega_i\}_{i\in I} be a family of subsets of a vector space XX. Then the intersection iIΩi\bigcap_{i\in I}\Omega_i is convex.

Context. This is fundamental for defining the as an intersection of all convex supersets and for building convex feasible regions from many convex constraints.

Proof sketch. If x,yx,y lie in every Ωi\Omega_i, then for each ii and each λ[0,1]\lambda\in[0,1] the point λx+(1λ)y\lambda x+(1-\lambda)y lies in Ωi\Omega_i by convexity. Hence it lies in the intersection.
