One-sided cylinder covering #
The truncated time shift of Step 2 in the proof of thm:A. For a cylinder
𝒞_ϱ(w) meeting the one-sided cylinder of admissible centres, and a point
w' of the intersection, the new centre is
w'' = (x_{w'}, min {t_w + ϱ², 0}): the spatial centre of w' and the
forward time shift truncated at the top face. It stays among the admissible
centres, and 𝒞_ϱ(w) ∩ {t ≤ 0} ⊆ 𝒞_{2ϱ}(w''). The covering itself needs no
upper bound on the radius.
Shift the time coordinate forward by the squared radius, stopping at the prescribed upper time, and use the selected point as spatial center.
Instances For
The truncated center stays in any cylinder of upper time T that
contains the selected intersection point.
The portion below time T is covered by a cylinder of twice the radius
whose spatial center is any point of the original cylinder.
A positive smaller concentric cylinder lies among the admissible centers.
Any cylinder meeting a smaller one-sided cylinder has a truncated admissible center covering its entire portion below time zero.
