Carrier coordinates for affine barycentric subdivision #
The coordinates of one barycentric-subdivision simplex are monotone in the ordering permutation.
More precisely, if z = affineSubdivMap n pi x, then
z (pi r) = sum_{k >= r} x k / (k+1).
Consequently every source coefficient is recovered from a consecutive coordinate drop. A positive source coefficient gives a strict cut in the ordered coordinates, so the corresponding prefix face is determined by the image point itself. These are the algebraic carrier facts used to prove that piecewise-affine interpolation agrees on overlapping barycentric-subdivision simplices.
Ordered-coordinate formula for one affine barycentric-subdivision chart.
Coordinates of a barycentric-subdivision image are nonincreasing in the permutation order.
A consecutive ordered-coordinate drop recovers the corresponding source coefficient.
The final ordered coordinate recovers the final source coefficient.
A positive nonfinal source coefficient produces a strict coordinate cut.
A positive final source coefficient makes the final ordered coordinate positive.
Every coordinate strictly after a positive cut is below the coordinate at that cut.
Every coordinate weakly before a cut is at least the coordinate at that cut.

Instances For
At a positive cut, every vertex in the prefix has coordinate at least the cut coordinate.
A positive coefficient determines its prefix face from the image point. Hence two barycentric-subdivision charts representing the same point have the same active prefix.
Equality of image points identifies every active barycentric-subdivision vertex.
The ordered coordinate at an active cut is independent of the sorting permutation.
The first coordinate after an active nonfinal cut is also permutation-independent.
Every active source coefficient is independent of the chart representing the image point.
One-step affine interpolation of arbitrary globally assigned vertex values agrees on overlap.
A positive source coefficient makes the image coordinate at its cut positive.
Two iterated affine charts agree at a point if they agree at every active standard vertex.
