Show homeomorphism between convex hull and unit ball?

918 Views Asked by At

In the proof of Schauder fixed point theorem in Evans' PDE book, he uses a claim that the convex hull $K$ of $N$ points $x_1,\dots,x_N$ in a convex compact subset $A$ of a Banach space $X$ is homeomorphic to the closed unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^M$ with $M\leq N$. Can someone show me why or provide some reference on the proof of this claim?

I am sure you can modify this method of proof to prove exactly what you want.
