Question: 29. Prove that the open ball \(B\left( {{\rm{p}},\delta } \right) = \left\{ {{\rm{x:}}\left\| {{\rm{x - p}}} \right\| < \delta } \right\}\)is a convex set. (Hint: Use the Triangle Inequality).

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is shown that the open ball\(B\left( {{\rm{p}},\delta } \right) = \left\{ {{\rm{x}}:\left\| {{\rm{x}} - {\rm{p}}} \right\| < \delta } \right\}\)is a convex set.

Step by step solution

01

Assume some vectors in an open ball set

Assume \({\rm{x,y}} \in B\left( {{\rm{p}},\delta } \right)\) and for \(0 \le t \le 1\), the vector \(z\) satisfies \(z = \left( {1 - t} \right)x + ty\).

02

Evaluate \(\left\| {z - p} \right\|\)

\(\begin{array}{c}\left\| {z - {\rm{p}}} \right\| = \left\| {\left( {\left( {1 - t} \right){\rm{x}} + t{\rm{y}}} \right) - {\rm{p}}} \right\|\\ = \left\| {\left( {\left( {1 - t} \right)\left( {{\rm{x}} - {\rm{p}}} \right) + t\left( {y - {\rm{p}}} \right)} \right)} \right\|\end{array}\)

03

Use Triangle inequality and \(x,y \in B\left( {p,\delta } \right)\)

According to triangle inequality \(\left( {1 - t} \right)\left\| {\left( {{\rm{x}} - {\rm{p}}} \right)} \right\| + t\left\| {\left( {{\rm{y}} - {\rm{p}}} \right)} \right\| < \left( {1 - t} \right)\delta + t\delta \) and as \({\rm{x,y}} \in B\left( {{\rm{p}},\delta } \right)\).

So, \(\left\| {{\rm{z}} - {\rm{p}}} \right\| < \left( {1 - t} \right)\delta + t\delta \).

04

Draw a conclusion

From \(\left\| {z - p} \right\| < \left( {1 - t} \right)\delta + t\delta \), it can be concluded that \(z \in B\left( {{\rm{p}},\delta } \right)\) and \(B\left( {{\rm{p}},\delta } \right)\) is a convex set of the ball.

Let \({\bf{x}}\left( t \right)\) and \({\bf{y}}\left( t \right)\) be cubic Bézier curves with control points \(\left\{ {{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{o}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{3}}}} \right\}\)and \(\left\{ {{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{3}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{4}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{5}}}{\bf{,}}{{\bf{p}}_{\bf{6}}}} \right\}\) respectively, so that \({\bf{x}}\left( t \right)\) and \({\bf{y}}\left( t \right)\) are joined at \({{\bf{p}}_3}\) . The following questions refer to the curve consisting of \({\bf{x}}\left( t \right)\) followed by \(y\left( t \right)\). For simplicity, assume that the curve is in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\).

a. What condition on the control points will guarantee that the curve has \({C^1}\) continuity at \({{\bf{p}}_3}\) ? Justify your answer.

b. What happens when \({\bf{x'}}\left( 1 \right)\) and \({\bf{y'}}\left( 1 \right)\) are both the zero vector?

In Exercises 7 and 8, find the barycentric coordinates of p with respect to the affinely independent set of points that precedes it.

8. \(\left( {\begin{array}{{}}0\\1\\{ - 2}\\1\end{array}} \right),\left( {\begin{array}{{}}1\\1\\0\\2\end{array}} \right),\left( {\begin{array}{{}}1\\4\\{ - 6}\\5\end{array}} \right)\), \({\mathop{\rm p}\nolimits} = \left( {\begin{array}{{}}{ - 1}\\1\\{ - 4}\\0\end{array}} \right)\)

Let\({v_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 1}\\2\end{array}} \right]\),\({v_{\bf{2}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{4}}\end{array}} \right]\),\({v_{\bf{3}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}\\{\bf{0}}\end{array}} \right]\), and let\(S = \left\{ {{v_1},{v_2},{v_3}} \right\}\).

  1. Show that the set is affinely independent.
  2. Find the barycentric coordinates of\({p_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}2\\3\end{array}} \right]\),\({p_{\bf{2}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{2}}\end{array}} \right]\),\({p_{\bf{3}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{ - 2}\\{\bf{1}}\end{array}} \right]\),\({p_{\bf{4}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{ - {\bf{1}}}\end{array}} \right]\), and\({p_{\bf{5}}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{1}}\\{\bf{1}}\end{array}} \right]\), with respect to S.
  3. Let\(T\)be the triangle with vertices\({v_1}\),\({v_{\bf{2}}}\), and\({v_{\bf{3}}}\). When the sides of\(T\)are extended, the lines divide\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\)into seven regions. See Figure 8. Note the signs of the barycentric coordinates of the points in each region. For example,\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{5}}}\)is inside the triangle\(T\)and all its barycentric coordinates are positive. Point\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}\)has coordinates\(\left( { - , + , + } \right)\). Its third coordinate is positive because\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}\)is on the\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{3}}}\)side of the line through\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}\)and\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}\). Its first coordinate is negative because\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{1}}}\)is opposite the\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{1}}}\)side of the line through\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}\)and\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{3}}}\). Point\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{2}}}\)is on the\({{\bf{v}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{v}}_{\bf{3}}}\)edge of\(T\). Its coordinates are\(\left( {0, + , + } \right)\). Without calculating the actual values, determine the signs of the barycentric coordinates of points\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{6}}}\),\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{7}}}\), and\({{\bf{p}}_{\bf{8}}}\)as shown in Figure 8.

Find an example in \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) to show that equality need not hold in the statement of Exercise 23.

In Exercises 21–24, a, b, and c are noncollinear points in\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\)and p is any other point in\({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{2}}}\). Let\(\Delta {\bf{abc}}\)denote the closed triangular region determined by a, b, and c, and let\(\Delta {\bf{pbc}}\)be the region determined by p, b, and c. For convenience, assume that a, b, and c are arranged so that\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\overrightarrow {\bf{a}} }&{\overrightarrow {\bf{b}} }&{\overrightarrow {\bf{c}} }\end{array}} \right]\)is positive, where\(\overrightarrow {\bf{a}} \),\(\overrightarrow {\bf{b}} \)and\(\overrightarrow {\bf{c}} \)are the standard homogeneous forms for the points.

24. Take q on the line segment from b to c and consider the line through q and a, which may be written as\(p = \left( {1 - x} \right)q + xa\)for all real x. Show that, for each x,\(det\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\widetilde p}&{\widetilde b}&{\widetilde c}\end{array}} \right] = x \cdot det\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\widetilde a}&{\widetilde b}&{\widetilde c}\end{array}} \right]\). From this and earlier work, conclude that the parameter x is the first barycentric coordinate of p. However, by construction, the parameter x also determines the relative distance between p and q along the segment from q to a. (When x = 1, p = a.) When this fact is applied to Example 5, it shows that the colors at vertex a and the point q are smoothly interpolated as p moves along the line between a and q.
