Given a nonempty set E⊂RnE \subset \R^n, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a convex set K⊂RnK \subset \R^n (possibly, nonclosed and unbounded) such that ext K=E\Ext K = E. Also, we describe a family of convex sets K⊂RnK \subset \R^n satisfying the equality K=conv (ext K)K = \Conv (\Ext K), and, more general, K=conv (ext K)+rec KK = \Conv (\Ext K) + \Rec K, where rec K\Rec K denotes the recession cone of KK.
