Graphs and bands of affine functions #
Over a simplex convexHull ℝ s of a real vector space, the graph of an affine function and the
closed band TauCeti.closedRegionBetween a b (convexHull ℝ s) between two ordered affine
functions a ≤ b are convex polytopes. These are the rectilinear cells of Łojasiewicz's
triangulation of semianalytic sets: the cells whose simplicial subdivision
(Geometry.SimplicialComplex.exists_subdivision) produces the triangulating complex. This file
describes them in the terms that subdivision needs.
AffineMap.graphOn_convexHull: the graph of an affine map over the convex hull ofsis the convex hull of its graph overs. Over a simplex, the graph cell is the simplex spanned by the graph points over its vertices.TauCeti.closedRegionBetween_convexHull: ifa ≤ bons, the closed band betweenaandbover the convex hull ofsis the convex hull of the lower vertices(x, a x)and the upper vertices(x, b x),x ∈ s. Over a finite setsit is therefore a polytope, hence compact (TauCeti.isCompact_closedRegionBetween_convexHull); wherea = bit collapses to the graph (TauCeti.closedRegionBetween_self).TauCeti.graphOn_inter_prod_nonempty,TauCeti.graphOn_inter_prod_nonempty_of_le: by the intermediate value theorem, the graph of a continuous function crosses a boxB ×ˢ Icc l rover a convex setBwhenever the function takes values on both sides of it overB. In particular, of two bands meeting the box one above the other, if the lower graph of the upper band misses the box, then the upper graph of the lower band meets it.ContinuousAffineMap.intrinsicInterior_graphOn,ContinuousAffineMap.intrinsicFrontier_graphOn: the intrinsic interior of the graph of a continuous affine map lies over the intrinsic interior of its domain, and, for a closed domain, its intrinsic frontier lies over the intrinsic frontier of the domain.TauCeti.intrinsicInterior_closedRegionBetween: ifa ≤ bons, witha < bsomewhere ons, the intrinsic interior of the closed band is the open band over the intrinsic interior ofs. For closeds, its intrinsic frontier therefore consists of the lower graph, the upper graph and the closed band over the intrinsic frontier ofs(TauCeti.intrinsicFrontier_closedRegionBetween).TauCeti.closedRegionBetween_convexHull_subset_of_le: the closed band over the convex hull of a subsett ⊆ slies in a band over the convex hull ofswhose bounds lie beyond it ont.

The graph of an affine map over the convex hull of s is the convex hull of its graph over
s.
The closed band between a convex function and a concave function over a convex set is convex.
Vertex description of a rectilinear band. If a ≤ b on s, the closed band between the
affine functions a and b over the convex hull of s is the convex hull of the lower vertices
(x, a x) and the upper vertices (x, b x) for x ∈ s.
Over the convex hull of a finite set s, the closed band between two affine functions with
a ≤ b on s is compact: it is the convex hull of finitely many vertices.
A function continuous on a convex set s, taking values on both sides of y ∈ Icc l r at two
points of the intersection of s with a convex set B, has its graph over s meeting the box
B ×ˢ Icc l r.
If two bands over a convex set s meet a box B ×ˢ Icc l r over a convex set B, the first
lying below the second, and the lower graph of the second band misses the box, then the graph of
the upper function of the first band crosses the box, provided that function is continuous on
s.
Intrinsic interiors and frontiers of graphs #
The intrinsic interior of the graph of a continuous affine map over s is its graph over the
intrinsic interior of s.
The intrinsic frontier of the graph of a continuous affine map over a closed set s is its
graph over the intrinsic frontier of s.
Intrinsic interiors and frontiers of bands #
Intrinsic interior of a band. If a ≤ b on s, with a < b somewhere on s, the
intrinsic interior of the closed band between the continuous affine functions a and b over s
is the open band over the intrinsic interior of s.
Intrinsic frontier of a band. If a ≤ b on a closed set s, with a < b somewhere on
s, the intrinsic frontier of the closed band between the continuous affine functions a and b
over s consists of the graphs of a and b over s and the closed band over the intrinsic
frontier of s.
The closed band between two affine functions over the convex hull of t ⊆ s lies in the
closed band between two affine functions over the convex hull of s that bound them on t.
