Convex closure for flag convex hulls #
The flag convex hull is defined through finite relational convex combinations. This file proves the expected structural API, including the flattening of a convex combination of convex combinations. Strictly positive supports are used throughout, so the least-upper-bound base is preserved by flattening.
Reindex a convex combination along an equivalence of finite index types.
The one-point convex combination.
Every point of a set belongs to its flag convex hull.
Flag convex hull is monotone.
A convex combination of points which are themselves convex combinations can be flattened to one convex combination. The flattened index contains only pairs on which both coefficients are strictly positive; this makes its base exactly the iterated least upper bound.
Flag convex hull is idempotent.
