A NBii TRIANGULATION OF TF~ UNIT SIl~LER

FOR COl~UTING ECONOMLIC EQUILIBRIA

Chuangyin DANG and Dolf TALMAN

Tilburg, The Netherlands

ABSTRACT - In order to compute economic equilibrie in an exchange

economy by means of a simplicial algorithm, we propose a new

simpliciel subdivision of the underlying price space, being the unit

simplex. We call this subdivísion the Ti-triangulation. We show that

the Ti-triangulation is superior to the well lrnown Ki- and Ji-

triangulations according to measures of efficiency of

triangulations.

1. INTRODUCTION

Since van der Laan and Talman [8] proposed the first simplicial

variable dimenaion algorithm without an extra dimension, a lot of

contributions to this field have appeared, e.g., see [3], [4], [6],

[8], and [11]. These algorithms can be used to find en economic

equilibrium in a pure exchange economy. They subdivide the price

space, being the n-dimensional unit simplex Sn, into simplices and

search for a simplex that yields an approximate equilibrium. So far,

we might say that the triengulations which underly all these

elgorithms are adaptions or generalizations to Sn of the well lmown

K1- and J1-triangulations of Rn. In [2], we proposed a new

Page 5: Tilburg University A new triangulation of the unit simplex ... · and let ui -(1, 0, .. , O)T E Rnii. Clearly, Sn - m iPCn(m) t{ui}. Let Tí :- m-iPTi .{ui} -{m iPa t{ui} I a E T1}

simplicial subdivision of Rn, called the D1-triangulation, which ia

superior to the K1- end J1-triangulations. In order to improve the

algorithms on Sn, we want to construct a simpliciel subdivision of

Sn by using the D1-triangulation, which is auperior to the other

triangulations of Sn.

Section 2 introduces the new triangulation of Sn, called the

Ti-triangulation. We give the pivot rules of the Ti-triangulation in

section 3. It is compared with the Ki- and Ji-triangulations in

section 4.

2. A NEW TRIANGULATION OF THE UNIT SIMPLEX

Let m be a positive 3nteger. Let Cn(m) -{x E Rn ~ m 2 xl 2 x2

2... 2 xn 2 0}. Clearly, Cn(m) is an n-dimensional simplex in Rn

We first triangulate Cn(m) into n-dimensional simplices and then

trensform Cn(m) to the n-dimensional unit simplex Sn ~{x E Rnrl I

~iix~ - 1, and x~ 2 0 for j- 1, ..., n41}. For h- 1, ..., n, let

uh denote the h-th unit vector in Rn. Let T~c -{y E Cn(m) ~ all

components of y are odd}. Let y0 - m and yn{1 - 0. Let y E TOc Let

be the set of all such simplices T1(y, R, s, p, q) in Cn(m).

following system has a nonnegative solution,

If qn-q~p-1 2 0 for p- q-1, it is clear that qk 2 0 for all k.

If not, then since ~k-n-qgn(k)(xn(k) - YR(k)) - qsn(n-q)(xn(n-q) -

Yn~ C Cn(m).

From the above conclusions, the lemma follows immediately.

Theorem 2.2. T1(m) is a triangulation of Cn(m).

Proof. From Lemma 2.1 and the definition, the theorem follows

ímmediately.

We call the triangulation T1(m) the T1-triangulation of Cn(m).

Let P be the (n41)xn matrix defined by

and let ui -(1, 0, .. , O)T E Rnii. Clearly, Sn - m iPCn(m) t{ui}.

Let Tí :- m-iPTi .{ui} -{m iPa t{ui} I a E T1}.

Then T1 is s triangulation of Sn. It is called the Ti-triangulation

with grid aize m-1. For n- 2 and m S 4 and for n- 3 and m s 2 the

Ti-triangulation of Sn with grid size m-1 ís illustrated in the

figures 1 end 2, respectively.

3. THE PIVOT RULES OF THE Ti-TRIANGULATION

For convenience, we consider the pivot rules of the T1-

triangulation of Cn(m).

Let a z (Y0. Y1. .... Yn~ ' T1(Y. n. s, P. q) be given. We want

to obtain the parameters of ~-~y0 yi yn] - T1(Y n B pr

q) such that all vertices of a are its vertices except yi, in case

the facet of a opposite to vertex yi does not lie in the boundary of

Cn(m). In Table (3-1), we show how y, n, s, p, and q are determined

from y, R, s, p, q, and i. From this table, it ia easy to obtain

each vertex yk of c~, k- 0, 1, .. , n, and in particular its new

vertex.

4. THE COMIPARISON OF THE Ki-, Ji-, AND Ti-TRIANOULATIONS OF Sn

In [2], we have introduced the D1-triangulation of Rn and

demonstrated Lhat it is superior to the well known K1- and J1-

triangulations (see [1], [5], [10]) according to the number of

simplices in the unit cube, the diameter, the average direction

density, and the surface density. From the definition of the T1-

tríangulation of Cn(m), it can be seen that we use the D1-

triangulation to triangulate the interior of Cn(m) and the J1-

triangulation to triangulate the boundary of Cn(m), i.e., we obtain

the T1-triangulation of Cn(m) by combining the D1-triangulation and

the J1-triangulation. Hence, the T1-triangulation ia superiar to the

triangulations of Cn(m), which are obtained Prom the K1- and J1-

triangulations. Therefore, the Ti-triangulation is auperior to the

well Imown Ki- and Ji-triangulations (see [9] and [10]) of Sn

according to the same measures, where the K1- and Ji-triangulations

have been obtained from the K1- and J1-triangulationa in the same

way as the Ti- from the T1-triangulation.
