Applications of extended convex coordinates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2016
Extract
Applications of convex coordinates are many and varied in mathematics today. Our first interest in convex coordinates grew out of their use in linear programming, e.g. [1]. That interest has remained quite lively as the study of convex coordinates continues to yield pleasing and sometimes unexpected results, e.g. [2,3]. Another name for these coordinates which may be more familiar to the reader is that of barycentric coordinates as originally given by the German mathematician Möbius. In this article we shall confine our attention to the Euclidean plane, but convex coordinates may be defined in Euclidean spaces of any dimension.
