A product half-space model #
The closed half-space in E × ℝ, with the last coordinate nonnegative, is a model with
corners. Its inverse clips the last coordinate at zero. Keeping the tangential space
explicit allows polyhedral boundary charts to use product coordinates directly.
Restricted to the points of positive height, the model is an open partial homeomorphism
onto the open half-space in E × ℝ. Its inverse turns a chart with values of positive last
coordinate into a half-space chart missing the boundary.

Instances For
The half-space model embeds by the subtype inclusion.
The inverse clips negative heights to zero.
On the half-space, the model inverse leaves the ambient coordinates unchanged.
The range of the model is the closed half-space.
The model of the half-space, restricted to the points of positive height: an open partial
homeomorphism onto the open half-space {q | 0 < q.2} in E × ℝ.
Instances For
The interior chart is the inclusion of the half-space.
The inverse of the interior chart is the inverse of the model.
The interior chart takes values in the open half-space.
