Definition 17.0.14 ($m$-dimensional (skew) orthant), LaTeX label def:orthant. A generalized
m-dimensional simplex with one ordinary vertex and m - 1 vertices at infinity is called an
m-dimensional (skew) orthant. The m-dimensional orthants in ℝⁿ are exactly the images of
the nonnegative orthant ℝ^m_{≥ 0} under one-to-one affine transformations from ℝ^m into
ℝⁿ.

A set O ⊆ ℝⁿ is an m-dimensional (skew) orthant if it is the image of the nonnegative
orthant ℝ^m_{≥ 0} under an injective affine map ℝ^m → ℝⁿ.

The nonnegative orthant is closed.
An injective affine map between finite-dimensional real vector spaces is a closed embedding.

A generalized m-dimensional simplex in ℝⁿ, modeled via the identification
x ↦ (1, x) ∈ H = {(1, x) | x ∈ ℝⁿ} as a slice of an (m+1)-dimensional skew orthant in
ℝ^{n+1}.

The lift map x ↦ (1, x) is continuous.
The lifting hyperplane is closed.
Propositon 17.0.15 (Closedness), generalized simplex version: every generalized
m-dimensional simplex in ℝⁿ is closed.
Propositon 17.0.16 (Closedness via orthant slicing), LaTeX label prop:gen-simplex-closed.
Every generalized m-dimensional simplex in ℝⁿ is closed. More precisely, such a set can be
identified with the intersection of an (m+1)-dimensional orthant in ℝ^{n+1} and the
hyperplane H = {(1, x) | x ∈ ℝⁿ}.
In this file, a “generalized simplex” is represented by IsGeneralizedSimplex n m S, which
models the “orthant slicing” description.
Split a lifting-set sum into a mixed convex combination, preserving the length.
Drop zero coefficients from a nonnegative sum and reindex to obtain positive coefficients.
A linear dependence yields a relation with a positive coefficient.
Remove a zero coefficient from a nonnegative sum and shorten the index set.
Eliminate one generator from a positive conic combination under linear dependence.
Theorem 17.1 (Caratheodory's Theorem). Let S be a set of points and directions in ℝⁿ,
modeled as a pair (S₀, S₁) with point-set S₀ ⊆ ℝⁿ and direction-set S₁ ⊆ ℝⁿ, and let
C := conv S be the resulting mixed convex hull (here: C := mixedConvexHull S₀ S₁).
Then x ∈ C if and only if x can be expressed as a convex combination of n + 1 of the
points and directions in S (not necessarily distinct); in this file, this is represented as
existence of a mixed convex combination of size m ≤ n + 1.
