def Kuratowski_embedding.embedding_of_subset {α : Type u} [metric_space α] (x : → α) (a : α) :
(lp (λ (n : ), ) )

A metric space can be embedded in l^∞(ℝ) via the distances to points in a fixed countable set, if this set is dense. This map is given in Kuratowski_embedding, without density assumptions.

The embedding map is always a semi-contraction.

When the reference set is dense, the embedding map is an isometry on its image.
