Grain boundary octonions are of particular interest to us due to their ability to represent the macroscopic crystallographic character of grain boundaries and because they allow for an analytical minimum to the U(1) (z-axis) symmetry present in that representation which in other representations is solved by numerical methods (Section 2.1). While the methods described are general to n-dimensional hyperspheres, we focus on one application of interest for our prior work on grain boundary octonions : the unit 7-sphere. These methods are relevant for applications such as grain boundaries structure-property models, robotics hand-eye calibration, and efficient neural networks, especially cases where coordinates may have degenerate dimensions, occupy no more than a hemisphere 2, or require interpolation of properties. coordinates) for computing intersections of a point within a simplicial facet (Section 3) and for interpolation (Section 4). We utilize rigid SVD transformations and a standard triangulation algorithm 1 to define a simplicial mesh on the (approximated) surface of an n-dimensional hypersphere (Section 2). The prediction point is assumed to be the barycenter (center of mass) of the simplex or convex polytope, and weights at the vertices necessary to make this assumption true are determined. īarycentric coordinates are a type of homogeneous coordinate system that reference a prediction point within a simplex or convex polytope, , based on “masses” or weights at the vertices, which can be negative.
