Example 2.
Let be a finite set and let be any function. Let be the convex hull of . We associate the following polyhedral complex to .
Take the Legendre transform of
Here and is their scalar product. Since the maximum is taken over a finite set, the result is a convex piecewise-linear function. We define as the corner locus of (recall that this is the set of points where is not smooth).
