Returns \(I(\)p2
is in \(N_{PE}(p1,r))\)
for points p1
and p2
in the standard equilateral triangle,
that is, returns 1 if p2
is in \(N_{PE}(p1,r)\),
and returns 0 otherwise,
where \(N_{PE}(x,r)\) is the PE proximity region
for point \(x\) with expansion parameter \(r \ge 1\).
PE proximity region is defined
with respect to the standard equilateral triangle
\(T_e=T(v=1,v=2,v=3)=T((0,0),(1,0),(1/2,\sqrt{3}/2))\)
and vertex regions are based on the center \(M=(m_1,m_2)\)
in Cartesian coordinates or \(M=(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)\)
in barycentric coordinates in the interior of \(T_e\);
default is \(M=(1,1,1)\), i.e., the center of mass of \(T_e\).
rv
is the index of the vertex region p1
resides,
with default=NULL
.
If p1
and p2
are distinct
and either of them are outside \(T_e\), it returns 0,
but if they are identical,
then it returns 1 regardless of their locations
(i.e., it allows loops).
