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
.
