28 Chapter 4. Coordinate representati<strong>on</strong><br />

In fact, they are coordinates in an oblique basis, something that affects distances if<br />

the usual Euclidean distance is computed from the alr coordinates. This approach is<br />

frequent in many applied sciences and should be avoided (see for example (Albarède,<br />

1995), p. 42).<br />

4.7 Simplicial matrix notati<strong>on</strong><br />

Many operati<strong>on</strong>s in real spaces are expressed in matrix notati<strong>on</strong>. Since the simplex is<br />

an Euclidean space, matrix notati<strong>on</strong>s may be also useful. However, in this framework<br />

a vector of real c<strong>on</strong>stants cannot be c<strong>on</strong>sidered in the simplex although in the real<br />

space they are readily identified. This produces two kind of matrix products which<br />

are introduced in this secti<strong>on</strong>. The first is simply the expressi<strong>on</strong> of a perturbati<strong>on</strong>linear<br />

combinati<strong>on</strong> of compositi<strong>on</strong>s which appears as a power-multiplicati<strong>on</strong> of a real<br />

vector by a compositi<strong>on</strong>al matrix whose rows are in the simplex. The sec<strong>on</strong>d <strong>on</strong>e is the<br />

expressi<strong>on</strong> of a linear transformati<strong>on</strong> in the simplex: a compositi<strong>on</strong> is transformed by<br />

a matrix, involving perturbati<strong>on</strong> and powering, to obtain a new compositi<strong>on</strong>. The real<br />

matrix implied in this case is not a general <strong>on</strong>e but when expressed in coordinates it is<br />

completely general.<br />
