Separation Hahn-Banach theorem

In this file we prove the geometric Hahn-Banach theorem. For any two disjoint convex sets, there exists a continuous linear functional separating them, geometrically meaning that we can intercalate a plane between them.

We provide many variations to stricten the result under more assumptions on the convex sets:

• geometric_hahn_banach_open: One set is open. Weak separation.
• geometric_hahn_banach_open_point, geometric_hahn_banach_point_open: One set is open, the other is a singleton. Weak separation.
• geometric_hahn_banach_open_open: Both sets are open. Semistrict separation.
• geometric_hahn_banach_compact_closed, geometric_hahn_banach_closed_compact: One set is closed, the other one is compact. Strict separation.
• geometric_hahn_banach_point_closed, geometric_hahn_banach_closed_point: One set is closed, the other one is a singleton. Strict separation.
• geometric_hahn_banach_point_point: Both sets are singletons. Strict separation.

Given a set s which is a convex neighbourhood of 0 and a point x₀ outside of it, there is a continuous linear functional f separating x₀ and s, in the sense that it sends x₀ to 1 and all of s to values strictly below 1.
