Following Kay and Womble [2] an abstract convexity structure on a set X is a collection ξ of subsets of X which includes the empty set, X and is closed under arbitrary intersections. One of the natural problems that arises in convexity structures is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existance of a linear structure on X such that the collection of all convex sets in the resulting linear space is precisely ξ. An associated problem is to consider a set with a convexity structure and a topology and find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existance of a linear structure on X such that X becomes a linear topological space with again ξ the collection of convex sets.
