Segment between 2 points as a bundled path #
In this file we define Path.segment a b : Path a b
to be the path going from a to b along the straight segment with constant velocity b - a.
We also prove basic properties of this construction,
then use it to show that a nonempty convex set is path connected.
In particular, a topological vector space over ℝ is path connected.
The path from a to b going along a straight line segment
Equations
- Path.segment a b = { toFun := fun (t : ↑unitInterval) => (AffineMap.lineMap a b) ↑t, continuous_toFun := ⋯, source' := ⋯, target' := ⋯ }
Instances For
A nonempty convex set is path connected.
A nonempty convex set is connected.
A convex set is preconnected.
A subspace in a topological vector space over ℝ is path connected.
Every topological vector space over ℝ is path connected.
Not an instance, because it creates enormous TC subproblems (turn on pp.all).
Given two complementary subspaces p and q in E, if the complement of {0}
is path connected in p then the complement of q is path connected in E.
