Compatibility of algebraic operations with metric space structures #
In this file we define mixin typeclasses has_lipschitz_mul, has_lipschitz_add,
has_bounded_smul expressing compatibility of multiplication, addition and scalar-multiplication
operations with an underlying metric space structure.  The intended use case is to abstract certain
properties shared by normed groups and by R≥0.
Implementation notes #
We deduce a has_continuous_mul instance from has_lipschitz_mul, etc.  In principle there should
be an intermediate typeclass for uniform spaces, but the algebraic hierarchy there (see
uniform_group) is structured differently.
Class has_lipschitz_add M says that the addition (+) : X × X → X is Lipschitz jointly in
the two arguments.
Class has_lipschitz_mul M says that the multiplication (*) : X × X → X is Lipschitz jointly
in the two arguments.
Instances of this typeclass
The Lipschitz constant of an add_monoid β satisfying has_lipschitz_add
The Lipschitz constant of a monoid β satisfying has_lipschitz_mul
- dist_smul_pair' : ∀ (x : α) (y₁ y₂ : β), has_dist.dist (x • y₁) (x • y₂) ≤ has_dist.dist x 0 * has_dist.dist y₁ y₂
- dist_pair_smul' : ∀ (x₁ x₂ : α) (y : β), has_dist.dist (x₁ • y) (x₂ • y) ≤ has_dist.dist x₁ x₂ * has_dist.dist y 0
Mixin typeclass on a scalar action of a metric space α on a metric space β both with
distinguished points 0, requiring compatibility of the action in the sense that
dist (x • y₁) (x • y₂) ≤ dist x 0 * dist y₁ y₂ and
dist (x₁ • y) (x₂ • y) ≤ dist x₁ x₂ * dist y 0.
The typeclass has_bounded_smul on a metric-space scalar action implies continuity of the
action.
If a scalar is central, then its right action is bounded when its left action is.
