Circle Averages #
For a function f
on the complex plane, this file introduces the definition
Real.circleAverage f c R
as a shorthand for the average of f
on the circle with center c
and
radius R
, equipped with the rotation-invariant measure of total volume one. Like
IntervalAverage
, this notion exists as a convenience. It avoids notationally inconvenient
compositions of f
with circleMap
and avoids the need to manually elemininate 2 * π
every time
an average is computed.
Note: Like the interval average defined in Mathlib.MeasureTheory.Integral.IntervalAverage
, the
circleAverage
defined here is a purely measure-theoretic average. It should not be confused with
circleIntegral
, which is the path integral over the circle path. The relevant integrability
property circleAverage
is CircleIntegrable
, as defined in
Mathlib.MeasureTheory.Integral.CircleIntegral
.
Implementation Note: Like circleMap
, circleAverage
s are defined for negative radii. The theorem
circleAverage_congr_negRadius
shows that the average is independent of the radius' sign.
Definition #
Define circleAverage f c R
as the average value of f
on the circle with center c
and radius
R
. This is a real notion, which should not be confused with the complex path integral notion
defined in circleIntegral
(integrating with respect to dz
).
