    Convex Mesh
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on obtaining a triangular mesh from a convex polyhedron defined by the intersection of half-planes. The user seeks documentation on efficient methods for triangularization, expressing interest in Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulation. They have plane equations and can find intersection points to create vertices for the polyhedron. While constructing a convex hull with triangular faces is possible, they are looking for simpler and more cost-effective solutions. Resources or guidance on these topics would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

I'm trying to find some information about my problem but it doesn't seem very easy.
1 - I have a convex polyhedron defined as the intersection of several half-planes.
2- Now I would like to obtain a triangularization of the polyhedron surface in the best way.
Can anyone indicate me where to find any documentation about it?
Thank you very much for your help.

Have you got the information about any points? What about the voronoi diagram or delaunay triangulation?
 
I only have the plane equations. Of course, I can find the intersection points to obtain the vertex of the polyhedron. With them, I can construct, for example, a convex hull with trangular faces (I'm always talking in 3D). However, I was looking for a cheaper and easy way to do it.
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
