“…The presented results form the basis for the development of Euclidean combinatorial optimization methods [18,23,25,26,38,39,42,48,49,51,[53][54][55][56][57].Theoretically, it is of interest to develop new approaches to the construction of convex extensions of functions defined on the corresponding C b -sets. At that, it is natural to single out various special classes of C-sets, such as sets of e-configurations of permutation matrices, even, cyclic, or signed permutations, and so on.…”
