Given a finite number of vectors in a real vector space, a conical combination or a conical sum of these vectors is a vector of the form
where the real numbers satisfy
The name derives from the fact that a conical sum of vectors defines a cone (possibly in a lower dimensional subspace).

Famous quotes containing the word combination:
“The principle of fashion is ... the principle of the kaleidoscope. A new year can only bring us a new combination of the same elements; and about once in so often we go back and begin again.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
