cannot we just use the Riemann sum definition of the area:
F(P)=F(sum dx dy)=sum F(dx dy)=0
then take limit? am i missing anything subtle? |
s*******r 发帖数: 63 | 9 由于已经有了additivity, “可导”类似于pdf的定义,大概的意思就是说,F可以写成
积分形式,F=\int_\poly f(x,y)dxdy,当然这里要求f(x,y) bounded。
同样的,一般情况下,f(x,y)可以是任意的,这样F就不能简单得取极限了。
前面我只是说,如果有这两个条件中的任意一个,就能够证明。否则,我不知道怎么证
,而且我也找不到反例。

D**u 发帖数: 204 | 13 When taking limit, (if you want to prove F(P)=0) you still need to prove
F(P) = limit sum F(dx dy),
though you have
Area(P) = limit sum Area(dx dy).

DuGu, i see - sorry that was a naive argument.
here are some thoughts based on what ppl have discussed so far:
since every polygon can be triangulated, and every triangle can be
decomposed into two right triangles, it suffices to prove this
"measure function" vanishes for all right-angled triangles.
now take the middle points of each side, along with the right-angled
vertex. this forms a rectangle; the rest are two similar triangles
of half of the original size. by repeating this, the origina

D**u 发帖数: 204 | 16 The question does not require F to be countable additive.
In the traditional measure theory, every measurable set has a non-negative
measure, so if a measurable set S_1 is a subset of S_2, then measure(S_2) >=
measure(S_1). Then for a P in the 2-d plane, we can use a countable union
of rectangles to "approximate" the measure of P.
The same approximation fails in this question because F does not guarantee a
non-negative "measure" on any polygon.

D**u 发帖数: 204 | 17 This question indeed has an counterexample (that F(P) != 0).
hint: instead of trying to represent F as some integration on P, using the
boundary of P to define F. Make sure that when adding F(P1) and F(P2), something
is "canceled out" on the common boundary of P1 and P2.

p*****k 发帖数: 318 | 18 DuGu, thanks for the hint. one thing i could think of is to use
contour integral (or in general, line integral), though i have
no idea what could vanish for an arbitrary rectangular contour,
while nonzero for some other particular contour.
(or in terms of the line integral, a field not doing work for
rectangular paths, but not for some other paths) |
D**u 发帖数: 204 | 19 Here is the counterexample (such that F(P) != 0 for some P).
...
Suppose the vertices of polygon P are (in counterclockwise position) z1, ...
, zn, (z_{n+1} := z1). Let theta_i be the angle of vector
z_{i+1} - z_i.
Define g(theta) = sin(3*theta), then we have g(theta) = - g(theta + pi).
We define F(p) = \sum |z_{i+1} - zi| * g(theta_i).
Ease to check the following:
(1) if P is the union of 2 non-intersecting P1 and P2, because the "line integral" on the common boundary of P1 and P2 vanishes, so

p*****k 发帖数: 318 | 20 DuGu, very nice construction.
is it possible to extend to curved contours? |

|
D**u 发帖数: 204 | 21 I think so. If the curve C is fairly (piecewise) smooth/differentiable, at
each point on the contour let "theta" be the angle of the tangent line.
We can define
F(C) = \integrate g(theta) ds
This question is related to (and different from) a concept called "intrinsic volume" which is also finite additive but not countable additive. The difference is: intrinsic volume is invariant under rigid motions (combinations of rotations and translations), while the construction of F is only invariant under

p*****k 发帖数: 318 | 22 DuGu, then i'm wondering whether some version of Green's identity

D**u 发帖数: 204 | 23 That is a very good question. My guess is that this line integral can not be
converted to a surface integral on P, otherwise we will get F(P)=0 by
applying Riemann sum on the surface integral.
The reason might be that Green's identities generally require the line
integral to integrate some "linear" transformation of the outward pointing
unit normal of line element ds, while g(theta) is not such a "linear"
transformation.
Here is a trivial but interesting modification of the original problem.
Let
