NRR.EMP.NormalizedAreaDeviation — the deviation map on zero-sum weights #
The additive-constant freedom of power weights is removed by restricting to the linear hyperplane of weight vectors whose coordinate sum is zero. The area-deviation vector also has coordinate sum zero, so it defines a continuous self-map of that finite-dimensional hyperplane.
This is the finite-dimensional map to which the eventual degree / outward-pointing argument for existence of equal-area power weights is applied.
The zero-sum weight hyperplane, represented as a subtype of Fin n → ℝ.
Equations
- NRR.EMP.NormalizedWeightSpace n = { w : Fin n → ℝ // NRR.EMP.WeightNormalized w }
Instances For
The zero weight vector belongs to the normalized weight hyperplane.
Equations
- NRR.EMP.NormalizedWeightSpace.zero n = ⟨fun (x : Fin n) => 0, ⋯⟩
Instances For
The area-deviation vector, regarded as a self-map of the normalized weight hyperplane.
Equations
- NRR.EMP.normalizedAreaDeviation K s hn hs w = ⟨NRR.EMP.areaDeviation K s ↑w, ⋯⟩
Instances For
The normalized deviation map is continuous.
A zero of the normalized deviation map is exactly a normalized equal-area weight.
Any zero of the normalized deviation map supplies the unrestricted existence theorem.
