چکیده

In this paper, we study the error in the approximation of a convex function obtained via a one-parameter family of approximation schemes, which we refer to as barycentric approximation schemes. For a given finite set of pairwise distinct points Xn := {xi}ni=0 in R, the barycentric approximation of a convex function f is of the form:

Approximations of differentiable convex functions on arbitrary convex polytopes

Let Xn := {xi}ni=0 be a given set of (n + 1) pairwise distinct points in R (called nodes or sample points), let P = conv(Xn), let f be a convex function with Lipschitz continuous gradient on P and λ := {λi}ni=0 be a set of barycentric coordinates with respect to the point set Xn. We analyze the error estimate between f and its barycentric approximation:

Barycentric coordinates for convex sets

In this paper we provide an extension of barycentric coordinates from simplices to arbitrary convex sets. Barycentric coordinates over convex 2D polygons have found numerous applications in various fields as it allows smooth interpolation of data located on vertices. However, no explicit formulation valid for arbitrary convex polytopes has been proposed to extend this interpolation in higher di...

Barycentric coordinates for convex polytopes

An extension of the standard barycentric coordinate functions for simplices to arbitrary convex polytopes is described. The key to this extension is the construction, for a given convex polytope, of a unique polynomial associated with that polytope. This polynomial, the adjoint of the polytope, generalizes a previous two-dimensional construction described by Wachspress. The barycentric coordina...

Power coordinates: a geometric construction of barycentric coordinates on convex polytopes

We present a full geometric parameterization of generalized barycentric coordinates on convex polytopes. We show that these continuous and non-negative coefficients ensuring linear precision can be efficiently and exactly computed through a power diagram of the polytope’s vertices and the evaluation point. In particular, we point out that well-known explicit coordinates such as Wachspress, Disc...

Maximum Entropy Coordinates for Arbitrary Polytopes

Barycentric coordinates can be used to express any point inside a triangle as a unique convex combination of the triangle’s vertices, and they provide a convenient way to linearly interpolate data that is given at the vertices of a triangle. In recent years, the ideas of barycentric coordinates and barycentric interpolation have been extended to arbitrary polygons in the plane and general polyt...
