Tangentialcone on a nonconvex set

15 Views Asked by At

I have a question regarding the notion of the tangentialcone used in nonlinear optimization.

Say we have a nonconvex admissible set $X$:

$X :=\lbrace x\in\mathbb{R}^2|x_1\geq0,x_2\geq0,x_1x_2\leq0\rbrace$

The tangentialcone at $(0,0)$ is then the whole set $X$ as far as I can understand from the definition, but $X$ is not a cone?
