Usually, this notation is meant to describe the set
$$ [x,x+s]:={x+lambda s:lambdain[0,1]}.$$
More general-looking: for any $x,yinmathbb R^n$, one sets
$$ [x,y]:={x+lambda (y-x):lambdain[0,1]},$$
which is the convex hull of the set ${x,y}$.

    @WilliamElliot Yes, that's what I just thought as well. But this is probably an error in the notation and it should say $[x,x+s]subset mathcal S$. The rest wouldn't make sense otherwise, or am I missing something?
