Strictly convex spaces

This file defines strictly convex spaces. A normed space is strictly convex if all closed balls are strictly convex. This does not mean that the norm is strictly convex (in fact, it never is).

Main definitions

StrictConvexSpace: a typeclass saying that a given normed space over a normed linear ordered field (e.g., ℝ or ℚ) is strictly convex. The definition requires strict convexity of a closed ball of positive radius with center at the origin; strict convexity of any other closed ball follows from this assumption.

Main results

In a strictly convex space, we prove

• strictConvex_closedBall: a closed ball is strictly convex.
• combo_mem_ball_of_ne, openSegment_subset_ball_of_ne, norm_combo_lt_of_ne: a nontrivial convex combination of two points in a closed ball belong to the corresponding open ball;
• norm_add_lt_of_not_sameRay, sameRay_iff_norm_add, dist_add_dist_eq_iff: the triangle inequality dist x y + dist y z ≤ dist x z is a strict inequality unless y belongs to the segment [x -[ℝ] z].
• Isometry.affineIsometryOfStrictConvexSpace: an isometry of NormedAddTorsors for real normed spaces, strictly convex in the case of the codomain, is an affine isometry.

We also provide several lemmas that can be used as alternative constructors for StrictConvex ℝ E:

• StrictConvexSpace.of_strictConvex_unitClosedBall: if closed_ball (0 : E) 1 is strictly convex, then E is a strictly convex space;

• StrictConvexSpace.of_norm_add: if ‖x + y‖ = ‖x‖ + ‖y‖ implies SameRay ℝ x y for all nonzero x y : E, then E is a strictly convex space.

Implementation notes

While the definition is formulated for any normed linear ordered field, most of the lemmas are formulated only for the case 𝕜 = ℝ.

A strictly convex space is a normed space where the closed balls are strictly convex. We only require balls of positive radius with center at the origin to be strictly convex in the definition, then prove that any closed ball is strictly convex in strictConvex_closedBall below.

Strict convexity is equivalent to ‖a • x + b • y‖ < 1 for all x and y of norm at most 1 and all strictly positive a and b such that a + b = 1. This lemma shows that it suffices to check this for points of norm one and some a, b such that a + b = 1.
