136 CHAPTER 2. CONVEX GEOMETRY S = {s | s ≽ 0, 1 T s ≤ 1} 1 Figure 46: Unit simplex S in R 3 is a unique solid tetrahedron but not regular. A proper polyhedral cone in R n must have at least n linearly independent generators, or be the intersection of at least n halfspaces whose partial boundaries have normals that are linearly independent. Otherwise, the cone will contain at least one line and there can be no vertex; id est, the cone cannot otherwise be pointed. Examples of pointed closed convex cones K are not limited to polyhedral cones: the origin, any 0-based ray in a subspace, any two-dimensional V-shaped cone in a subspace, the Lorentz (ice-cream) cone and its polyhedral flavors, the cone of Euclidean distance matrices EDM N in S N h , the proper cones: S M + in ambient S M , any orthant in R n or R m×n ; e.g., the nonnegative real line R + in vector space R .

CONVEX POLYHEDRA 137 2.12.3 Unit simplex A peculiar subset of the nonnegative orthant with halfspace-description S ∆ = {s | s ≽ 0, 1 T s ≤ 1} ⊆ R n + (265) is a unique bounded convex polyhedron called unit simplex (Figure 46) having nonempty interior, n + 1 vertices, and dimension [53,2.2.4] dim S = n (266) The origin supplies one vertex while heads of the standard basis [176] [287] {e i , i=1... n} in R n constitute those remaining; 2.49 thus its vertex-description: S 2.12.3.1 Simplex = conv {0, {e i , i=1... n}} = { [0 e 1 e 2 · · · e n ]a | a T 1 = 1, a ≽ 0 } (267) The unit simplex comes from a class of general polyhedra called simplex, having vertex-description: [82] [266] [324] [96] conv{x l ∈ R n } | l = 1... k+1, dim aff{x l } = k , n ≥ k (268) So defined, a simplex is a closed bounded convex set having possibly empty interior. Examples of simplices, by increasing affine dimension, are: a point, any line segment, any triangle and its relative interior, a general tetrahedron, polychoron, and so on. 2.12.3.1.1 Definition. Simplicial cone. A proper polyhedral (2.7.2.2.1) cone K in R n is called simplicial iff K has exactly n extreme directions; [19,II.A] equivalently, iff proper K has exactly n linearly independent generators contained in any given set of generators. △ simplicial cone ⇒ proper polyhedral cone There are an infinite variety of simplicial cones in R n ; e.g., Figure 20, Figure 47, Figure 56. Any orthant is simplicial, as is any rotation thereof. 2.49 In R 0 the unit simplex is the point at the origin, in R the unit simplex is the line segment [0,1], in R 2 it is a triangle and its relative interior, in R 3 it is the convex hull of a tetrahedron (Figure 46), in R 4 it is the convex hull of a pentatope [326], and so on.

So defined, a simplex is a closed bounded convex set having possibly empty<br />
interior. Examples of simplices, by increasing affine dimension, are: a point,<br />
any line segment, any triangle and its relative interior, a general tetrahedron,<br />
polychoron, and so on.<br />

There are an infinite variety of simplicial cones in R n ; e.g., Figure 20,<br />
Figure 47, Figure 56. Any orthant is simplicial, as is any rotation thereof.<br />
2.49 In R 0 the unit simplex is the point at the origin, in R the unit simplex is the line<br />
segment [0,1], in R 2 it is a triangle and its relative interior, in R 3 it is the convex hull of<br />
a tetrahedron (Figure 46), in R 4 it is the convex hull of a pentatope [326], and so on.
