Convex Combination in m-D p1 y p2 p3
Simplex n dimensional simplex in m dimensions (n < m) is the set of all convex combinations of n + 1 affinely independent vectors
Hypercube (1,1,1) (0,1) (0,0,1) (1,0,0) (1,0) n-cube
Pseudo-Hypercube or Pseudo-Box n-Pseudo-Hypercube For any n affinely independent vectors
Convex Set A set is convex if the line-segment between any two points in the set is also in the set
Non Convex Set A set is not convex if there exists a pair of points whose line segment is not completely in the set
Convex Hull Smallest convex set that contains all points
Volume of Pseudo-Hypercube n-Pseudo-Hypercube For any n affinely independent vectors
Signed Area and Volume p2 (0,0) p1 volume( cube(p1,p2) ) = - volume( cube(p1,p2) )
Determinant of Square Matrix How to compute determinant or the volume of pseudo-cube?
Determinant in 2D p2 =[b,d]T Why? (0,0) p1 =[a,c]T Invertible if and only if the determinant is not zero if and only if the two columns are not linearly dependent
Determinant of Square Matrix How to compute determinant or the volume of pseudo-cube?
Properties of Determinant • det I = 1 • The determinant changes sign when sign when two rows are changed (sign reversal) • Determinant of permutation matrices are 1 or -1 • The determinant is a linear function of each row separately • det [a1 , …,tai ,…, an] = t det [a1 , …,ai ,…, an] • det [a1 , …, ai+ bi ,…, an] = det [a1 , …,ai ,…, an] + det [a1 , …, bi ,…, an] • [Show the 2D geometric argument on the board]
Properties of Determinant and Algorithm for Computing it • [4] If two rows of A are equal, then det A = 0 • Proof: det […, ai ,…, aj …] = - det […, aj ,…, ai …] • If a= aj then • det […, ai ,…, aj …] = -det […, ai ,…, aj …]
Properties of Determinant and Algorithm for Computing it • [5] Subtracting a multiple of one row from another row leaves det A unchanged • det […, ai ,…, aj - tai …] = det […, ai ,…, aj …] + det […, ai ,…, - tai …] • One can compute determinant by elimination • PA = LU then det A = det U
Properties of Determinant and Algorithm for Computing it • [6] A matrix with a row of zeros has det A = 0 • [7] If A is triangular, then • det [A] = a11 a22 …ann • The determinant can be computed in O(n3) time
Determinant and Inverse • [8] If A is singular then det A = 0. If A is invertible, then det A is not 0
Determinant and Matrix Product • [9] det AB = det A det B (|AB| = |A| |B|) • Proof: consider D(A) = |AB| / |B| • (Determinant of I) A = I, then D(A) = 1. • (Sign Reversal): When two rows of A are exchanged, so are the same two rows of AB. Therefore |AB| only changes sign, so is D(A) • (Linearity) when row 1 of A is multiplied by t, so is row 1 of AB. This multiplies |AB| by t and multiplies the ratio by t – as desired.
