Theorem
Let $V$ be a vector space over $\R$ or $\C$.
Let $A \subseteq V$ be a non-empty convex set.
Then $A$ is a star convex set, and every point in $A$ is a star center.
Proof
Let $a \in A$.
Note that there is at least one point in $A$, as $A$ is non-empty.
If $x \in A$, then there is a line segment joining $a$ and $x$.
By definition, it follows that $A$ is star convex, and $a$ is a star center.
