Question 11046: Audit lambda without Clipping an Affine Extension

Original question and givens

Use a finite nonempty ordered vector list and aligned exact rational weights. Convex weights may be zero but must be nonnegative and sum exactly to 1, not merely approximately. A convex-combination witness establishes its weighted point, not unique coordinates without separate affine independence. left=[8, 0], right=[11, 3], lambda=21/23. Give (left,right,normalized lambda,lambda in [0,1]?,lambda*left+(1−lambda)*right,is this a convex combination?). This audit still computes the affine expression when lambda lies outside [0,1], but both qualification flags must then be No. Use exact rational arithmetic, reduce fractions to positive denominators and omit /1 for integer outputs.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

two-point complementary weight := sub(1, 21/23)

two-point complementary weight = 2/23

two-point:raw lambda=[21, 23];lambda=21/23;one-minus-lambda=2/23

in_closed_unit_interval=Yes;lambda weights left

two-point:ordered vectors=[[8, 0], [11, 3]];aligned weights=[21/23, 2/23]

dimension=2;preserve duplicates and order

two-point coordinate0 term0 := mul(21/23, 8)

two-point coordinate0 term0 = 168/23

two-point coordinate0 term1 := mul(2/23, 11)

two-point coordinate0 term1 = 22/23

two-point coordinate0 sum := sum(168/23, 22/23)

two-point coordinate0 sum = 190/23

two-point coordinate1 term0 := mul(21/23, 0)

two-point coordinate1 term0 = 0

two-point coordinate1 term1 := mul(2/23, 3)

two-point coordinate1 term1 = 6/23

two-point coordinate1 sum := sum(0, 6/23)

two-point coordinate1 sum = 6/23
