Dyadic rationals are rationals whose denominator is a power of [Formula: see text]. We define dyadic[Formula: see text]-dimensional convex sets as the intersections with [Formula: see text]-dimensional dyadic space of an [Formula: see text]-dimensional real convex set. Such a dyadic convex set is said to be a dyadic[Formula: see text]-dimensional polytope if the real convex set is a polytope whose vertices lie in the dyadic space. Dyadic convex sets are described as subreducts (subalgebras of reducts) of certain faithful affine spaces over the ring of dyadic numbers, or equivalently as commutative, entropic and idempotent groupoids under the binary operation of arithmetic mean. The paper contains two main results. First, it is proved that, while all dyadic polytopes are finitely generated, only dyadic simplices are generated by their vertices. This answers a question formulated in an earlier paper. Then, a characterization of finitely generated subgroupoids of dyadic convex sets is provided, and it is shown how to use the characterization to determine the minimal number of generators of certain convex subsets of the dyadic plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
