Linear combinations from power domains (Q1116094)

Power domains (Dirichlet or Voronoi regions) are defined by way of subsets of a finite set S of weighted points in \({\mathbb{R}}^ d\). The author proves a theorem on power domains enabling him to establish various linear combinations among the points in a finite set S in \({\mathbb{R}}^ d\). One such leads to a Radon partition of S. The paper generalizes a result of \textit{R. Sibson} [Math. Proc. Camb. Philos. Soc. 87, 151-155 (1980; Zbl 0466.52010)] concerning singleton subsets and unweighted points. These linear combinations have application in spatial interpolation and smoothing of \(C^ 1\) surfaces.
