Well, Erin Pearse wrote all over *about* the question: http://arxiv.org/abs/math-ph/0412029 http://arxiv.org/abs/math.DS/0605527 http://www.math.cornell.edu/~erin/dissertation/dissertation.pdf

Okay, beginner questions.

Looking at the dissertation, I was confused about Pearse's meaning of "convex hull", which I thought was an outline.

It is. All the links I gave are probably irrelevant, as I completely misunderstood the real question. -- Mike Stay - metaweta@gmail.com http://math.ucr.edu/~mike http://reperiendi.wordpress.com
