Harmonic Center of an n-Simplex: Some Properties

Abstract

A simplex in n dimensions is defined by the usual (n+1) linear inequality constraints in n dimensions. Here we consider simplexes which are bounded sets. The harmonic center has been defined earlier for polytopes in general. A relationship between the rows of A is derived here, which must be satisfied for the simplex to be bounded. Using this condition, an interesting relationship is derived between the (n+1) residuals at the harmonic center of the simplex. Finally, a linear expression is developed which is invariant everywhere in the simplex.
