I've found a formula for a scalar product in barycentric coordinates which I think is pretty cool. I hope that it's new. Is it? Suppose that you have points $x_1,\dots,x_n$ sitting in general position ...

I have distance matrix $D$ that was calculated by some distance (non-Euclidean but satisfying distance requirements). Is there a set of points in some Euclidean space such that it generates matrix of ...

There are many examples on the Web of the use of Cavalieri's principle in determining areas and volumes of 2-D and 3-D geometrical figures. The Wikipedia link uses the principle as both a proof and ...

Recently a lot of work has been done on geometric means of positive definite matrices (see here and here for example). Has anyone extended this concept to larger sets of matrices (copositive, for ...

It's possible to extend the well known cross product between two vectors in $\mathbb{R}^3$ to $n-1$ vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Let $\vec{v_1}, \vec{v_2}, \dots, \vec{v}_{n-1} \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and $\...

Suppose I have a square n*n, symmetric matrix with positive elements and zero diagonal. For this to be considered a proper distance metric between n points, the triangle inequality needs to be ...
