barycenter

Japanese: barycenter
barycenter

…(1) Mathematical barycenter When there are n points A1 , A2 , …, An in a space, take one point O and consider a vector. For real numbers w1 , w2 , …, wn that satisfy w1 ≧0, w2 ≧0, …, wn0 , w1 + w2 + … + wn = 1 , create a point P that satisfies, and P will not depend on how O is taken . This point P is called the barycenter when weights w1, w2, …, wn are assigned to A1 , A2 , , An , and in particular when w1 = w2 = = wn = 1/ n , P is simply called the barycenter of A1 , A2 , …, An .
