Extended metric spaces #
This file is devoted to the definition and study of emetric_spaces
, i.e., metric
spaces in which the distance is allowed to take the value ∞. This extended distance is
called edist
, and takes values in ℝ≥0∞
.
Many definitions and theorems expected on emetric spaces are already introduced on uniform spaces and topological spaces. For example: open and closed sets, compactness, completeness, continuity and uniform continuity.
The class emetric_space
therefore extends uniform_space
(and topological_space
).
Since a lot of elementary properties don't require eq_of_edist_eq_zero
we start setting up the
theory of pseudo_emetric_space
, where we don't require edist x y = 0 → x = y
and we specialize
to emetric_space
at the end.

Extended (pseudo) metric spaces, with an extended distance edist
possibly taking the
value ∞
Each pseudo_emetric space induces a canonical uniform_space
and hence a canonical
topological_space
.
This is enforced in the type class definition, by extending the uniform_space
structure. When
instantiating a pseudo_emetric_space
structure, the uniformity fields are not necessary, they
will be filled in by default. There is a default value for the uniformity, that can be substituted
in cases of interest, for instance when instantiating a pseudo_emetric_space
structure
on a product.
Continuity of edist
is proved in topology.instances.ennreal

ε-δ characterization of uniform continuity on a set for pseudoemetric spaces
ε-δ characterization of uniform continuity on pseudoemetric spaces
ε-δ characterization of uniform embeddings on pseudoemetric spaces
If a map between pseudoemetric spaces is a uniform embedding then the edistance between f x
and f y
is controlled in terms of the distance between x
and y
.
A very useful criterion to show that a space is complete is to show that all sequences
which satisfy a bound of the form edist (u n) (u m) < B N
for all n m ≥ N
are
converging. This is often applied for B N = 2^{-N}
, i.e., with a very fast convergence to
0
, which makes it possible to use arguments of converging series, while this is impossible
to do in general for arbitrary Cauchy sequences.

Auxiliary function to replace the uniformity on a pseudoemetric space with a uniformity which is equal to the original one, but maybe not defeq. This is useful if one wants to construct a pseudoemetric space with a specified uniformity. See Note [forgetful inheritance] explaining why having definitionally the right uniformity is often important.

The product of two pseudoemetric spaces, with the max distance, is an extended pseudometric spaces. We make sure that the uniform structure thus constructed is the one corresponding to the product of uniform spaces, to avoid diamond problems.
Equations
- prod.pseudo_emetric_space_max = {to_has_edist := {edist := λ (x y : α × β), max (edist x.fst y.fst) (edist x.snd y.snd)}, edist_self := _, edist_comm := _, edist_triangle := _, to_uniform_space := prod.uniform_space pseudo_emetric_space.to_uniform_space', uniformity_edist := _}
The product of a finite number of pseudoemetric spaces, with the max distance, is still a pseudoemetric space. This construction would also work for infinite products, but it would not give rise to the product topology. Hence, we only formalize it in the good situation of finitely many spaces.

The diameter of a set in a pseudoemetric space, named emetric.diam
Equations
- emetric.diam s = ⨆ (x : α) (H : x ∈ s) (y : α) (H : y ∈ s), edist x y
If two points belong to some set, their edistance is bounded by the diameter of the set
If the distance between any two points in a set is bounded by some constant, this constant bounds the diameter.
The diameter of a subsingleton vanishes.
The diameter of the empty set vanishes
The diameter of a singleton vanishes
The diameter is monotonous with respect to inclusion
The diameter of a union is controlled by the diameter of the sets, and the edistance between two points in the sets.
