Cubes in Rn

Subjects: Vector Analysis
Def: A cube in Rn is a rectangle CRn with all of its dimensions being equal, i.e. C=i=1n[ai,bi], then for any 1i,jn, (bjaj)=(biai). The value s=biai is called the cube’s dimension.

Prop: If C=i=1n[ai,bi] is a cube with dimension s and center c=(ci)i=1nC, then ci=ai+s2 for all i , and the diagonal of C has length of sn, i.e. d(C)=sn

Prop: Let R=i=1n[ai,bi] be a rectangle with rational dimensions, then there’s a partition of R of cubes, with the same rational dimension.

This can be made stronger into a version where the dimension of the cubes can be arbitrarily small dimension, while preserving the rationality of the dimension.

Lemma: Let R1,,RkRn are rectangles, for any ε>0 exists a finite amount of cubes C1,,Cl with rational dimensions that

j=1kRji=1lCi

and

0i=1lm(Ci)j=1km(Rj)<ε
