Partition of unity and convex sets #
In this file we prove the following lemma, see exists_continuous_forall_mem_convex_of_local. Let
X be a normal paracompact topological space (e.g., any extended metric space). Let E be a
topological real vector space. Let t : X β set E be a family of convex sets. Suppose that for each
point x : X, there exists a neighborhood U β π X and a function g : X β E that is continuous
on U and sends each y β U to a point of t y. Then there exists a continuous map g : C(X, E)
such that g x β t x for all x.
We also formulate a useful corollary, see exists_continuous_forall_mem_convex_of_local_const, that
assumes that local functions g are constants.

partition of unity
Let X be a normal paracompact topological space (e.g., any extended metric space). Let E be
a topological real vector space. Let t : X β set E be a family of convex sets. Suppose that for
each point x : X, there exists a neighborhood U β π X and a function g : X β E that is
continuous on U and sends each y β U to a point of t y. Then there exists a continuous map
g : C(X, E) such that g x β t x for all x. See also
