Mathlib.Geometry.Euclidean.Volume.MeasureSimplex

Connect the algebraic definition and measure theory for the volume of a simplex #

This file proves that Affine.Simplex.volume agrees with the volume measure of its closed interior.

Main statements #

The volume of the cross section of a simplex is scaled from the base. This is an intermediate result for volume calculation and is expressed as a.e.-equal to take care of the exception at zero.

TODO: if the cross section object also shows up elsewhere, we should turn it to a proper definition.

The cross section of a simplex vanishes outside of the simplex in terms of its volume.

The $n$-volume of the closed interior of a $n$-simplex is equal to $h * b / n$, where $h$ is the height and $b$ is the $(n - 1)$-volume of the base. This version is expressed in ENNReal.
