Continuity of affine maps between standard simplices #
An affine map Convexity.StdSimplex.affineMapMk v out of a standard simplex is determined by the
images v m of the vertices. When the target is a standard simplex on a finite type, its
weights are the bilinear expressions ∑ m, w.weights m * (v m).weights n, so the map is
continuous; Convexity.StdSimplex.continuousAffineMapMk bundles it as a continuous map. This
makes affine simplices, such as the simplices of a barycentric subdivision,
available as continuous maps between topological standard simplices.
The weights of the affine map with vertices v, evaluated at a point with finitely many
vertices, are the corresponding convex combinations of the weights of the vertices.
An affine map from a standard simplex to a standard simplex on a finite type is continuous.
The affine map with vertices v from a standard simplex to a standard simplex on a finite
