Closed subsets #

This file defines the metric and emetric space structure on the types of closed subsets and nonempty compact subsets of a metric or emetric space.

The Hausdorff distance induces an emetric space structure on the type of closed subsets of an emetric space, called closeds. Its completeness, resp. compactness, resp. second-countability, follow from the corresponding properties of the original space.

In a metric space, the type of nonempty compact subsets (called nonempty_compacts) also inherits a metric space structure from the Hausdorff distance, as the Hausdorff edistance is always finite in this context.

In emetric spaces, the Hausdorff edistance defines an emetric space structure on the type of closed subsets

Equations

The edistance to a closed set depends continuously on the point and the set

Subsets of a given closed subset form a closed set

By definition, the edistance on closeds α is given by the Hausdorff edistance

In a complete space, the type of closed subsets is complete for the Hausdorff edistance.

@[protected, instance]

In a compact space, the type of closed subsets is compact.

@[protected, instance]

In an emetric space, the type of non-empty compact subsets is an emetric space, where the edistance is the Hausdorff edistance

Equations

nonempty_compacts.to_closeds is a uniform embedding (as it is an isometry)

The range of nonempty_compacts.to_closeds is closed in a complete space

@[protected, instance]

In a complete space, the type of nonempty compact subsets is complete. This follows from the same statement for closed subsets

@[protected, instance]

In a compact space, the type of nonempty compact subsets is compact. This follows from the same statement for closed subsets

@[protected, instance]

In a second countable space, the type of nonempty compact subsets is second countable

@[protected, instance]

nonempty_compacts α inherits a metric space structure, as the Hausdorff edistance between two such sets is finite.

Equations

The distance on nonempty_compacts α is the Hausdorff distance, by construction
