Abstract: . Let S be a set of points in IR d , each with a weight that is not known precisely, only known to fall within some range. What is the locus of the centroid of S? We prove that this locus is a convex polytope, the projection of a zonotope in IR d+1 . We derive complexity bounds and algorithms for the construction of these "centroid polytopes". 1 Introduction Suppose that S = fs 1 ; s 2 ; : : : ; s n g is a set of points in IR d and that each point s i has an unknown nonnegative...

.... a special case of a centroid polytope, the locus of possible weighted averages of points each with an unknown weight within a certain range [2]. For reduced convex hulls, each weight i has the same range [0; and the sum of the weights is constrained to be 1. In [2] we...
