Intrinsic interior points of compact and convex sets #
Follow the ray from a point p of a compact set C through another point x of C. The last
point of C on this ray lies in the intrinsic frontier of C
(IsCompact.exists_lineMap_mem_intrinsicFrontier): beyond it the ray leaves C, so it cannot be
an intrinsic interior point. No convexity is needed.
A nonempty convex subset of t whose intrinsic interior misses that of t, such as a convex piece
of the intrinsic frontier of t, has strictly smaller dimension
(TauCeti.finrank_vectorSpan_lt_of_disjoint_intrinsicInterior): equal dimensions would force
equal affine spans, and the intrinsic interior is monotone on sets with a common affine span
(TauCeti.intrinsicInterior_mono_of_affineSpan_eq). Consequently, in a family of convex
cells with pairwise disjoint intrinsic interiors whose intrinsic frontiers are covered by a set
S and the smaller cells, every point of a cell lies in S or in the intrinsic interior of a
cell contained in it (TauCeti.mem_intrinsicInterior_or_of_mem), and the intrinsic interior of a
cell avoiding S meets no other cell of smaller or equal dimension
(TauCeti.eq_or_finrank_lt_of_mem_intrinsicInterior).
If s has the same affine span as t and contains the part of t in an open set U, then the
intrinsic interior points of t in U are intrinsic interior points of s
(TauCeti.intrinsicInterior_inter_subset_of_affineSpan_eq). From an intrinsic interior point,
every small move along the affine span stays in the set
(TauCeti.eventually_add_smul_mem_of_mem_intrinsicInterior). Consequently an affine function
which is nonnegative on a set and vanishes at one of its intrinsic interior points vanishes on the
whole set (TauCeti.eq_zero_of_nonneg_of_mem_intrinsicInterior). In particular, an inequality
a ≤ b between affine functions on s, which persists on the convex hull of s
(TauCeti.le_of_forall_le_of_mem_convexHull), is strict on the intrinsic interior of that hull
unless a = b on all of it (TauCeti.eq_of_le_of_mem_intrinsicInterior). The intrinsic
frontier of a closed set consists of its points outside its intrinsic interior
(IsClosed.sdiff_intrinsicInterior). These are the tools for computing intrinsic interiors and
frontiers of concrete cells, such as the bands of TauCeti/Analysis/Convex/RegionBetween.lean,
and the cells of a hyperplane arrangement.
Read in the ambient space, x is an intrinsic interior point of s when it lies in the affine
span of s and the points of that span near x lie in s
(TauCeti.mem_intrinsicInterior_iff_eventually). A subset u of a convex set s which meets the
intrinsic interior of s has its intrinsic interior inside that of s
(TauCeti.intrinsicInterior_mono_of_inter_intrinsicInterior_nonempty). Consequently, if the
intrinsic interiors of two convex sets meet, the intrinsic interior of their intersection is the
intersection of their intrinsic interiors (TauCeti.intrinsicInterior_inter; Rockafellar,
Convex Analysis, Theorem 6.5). This computes the intrinsic interiors of the cells σ ∩ τ cut
out by two triangulations.
A closed bounded convex set C of a real normed space, with a point c of its intrinsic
interior, is homeomorphic to the closed unit ball of the direction V of its affine span
(TauCeti.convexClosedBallHomeomorph). Translating by -c turns C into a closed bounded convex
neighbourhood S of 0 in V, and Mathlib's gaugeRescaleHomeomorph rescales each ray of V
through the origin to carry the closed unit ball onto S. Explicitly, the homeomorphism sends v
to c + (‖v‖ / gauge (-c +ᵥ C) v) • v (TauCeti.coe_convexClosedBallHomeomorph_apply); for a
unit vector u of V the number (gauge (-c +ᵥ C) u)⁻¹ is the length of the segment from c in
direction u inside C. No finite-dimensionality is needed. This identifies every nonempty
compact convex set of a finite-dimensional space with a disk, which is how Brouwer's fixed-point
theorem passes from the disk to compact convex sets.
On the ray from a point p of a compact set C through another point x of C, some point
at parameter T ≥ 1 lies in the intrinsic frontier of C.
The intrinsic interior of the whole space is the whole space.
The intrinsic interior is monotone on sets with a common affine span.
If s has the same affine span as t and contains the part t ∩ U of t in an open set
U, then the intrinsic interior points of t in U are intrinsic interior points of s.
The intrinsic frontier of a closed set consists of its points outside its intrinsic interior.
Membership in the intrinsic interior, read in the ambient space: x is an intrinsic interior
point of s when it lies in the affine span of s and every point of that span close to x lies
in s.
A point in the intrinsic interiors of two sets is in the intrinsic interior of their intersection.
The intrinsic frontier of a closed cell is covered by the other cells contained in it, when every point of the cell lies in the intrinsic interior of a cell contained in it.
A point of C lying in a set S which the intrinsic interior of C avoids lies in the
intrinsic frontier of C.
A nonempty convex subset s of t whose intrinsic interior is disjoint from that of t
(for instance a nonempty convex subset of the intrinsic frontier of t) has strictly smaller
dimension than t.
A point of a cell lies in its intrinsic interior, in S, or in the intrinsic interior of a
smaller-dimensional cell contained in it, when the frontier of every cell is covered by S and
the other cells contained in it.
Under the hypotheses of TauCeti.mem_intrinsicInterior_or_of_mem, if the intrinsic
interiors of the cells avoid S, the intrinsic interior of a cell meets no other cell of smaller
or equal dimension.
A closed bounded convex set as a ball around an intrinsic interior point #
The displacements from c inside C, read in the direction of the affine span of C, are
the preimage of the translate -c +ᵥ C.
The gauge of the displacement set agrees with the gauge of the translated set in the ambient space.
For convex C and any c, the displacements v in the direction of affineSpan ℝ C
with c + v ∈ C form a convex set.
Displacements from a point into a closed set form a closed set in its affine direction.
Displacements into a bounded set are von Neumann bounded in its affine direction.
c + v lies in the intrinsic frontier of C iff v lies in the frontier, within the
direction of the affine span of C, of the displacement set {w | c + w ∈ C}.
For a point c of the intrinsic interior of C, the displacements v in the direction of
the affine span of C with c + v ∈ C form a neighbourhood of 0.
The gauge of the translated set in its affine direction is positive exactly away from zero, for a bounded set with an intrinsic interior center.
From a point c of the intrinsic interior of C, every sufficiently small move ε • v along
a direction v of the affine span of C stays in C.
An affine function which is nonnegative on a set C and vanishes at an intrinsic interior
point c of C vanishes on all of C.
If a ≤ b on s for two affine functions, with equality at an intrinsic interior point of
the convex hull of s, then a = b on the whole convex hull.
A subset u of a convex set s meeting the intrinsic interior of s has its intrinsic
interior inside that of s.
The intrinsic interior of an intersection (Rockafellar, Theorem 6.5). If the intrinsic interiors of two convex sets meet, the intrinsic interior of their intersection is the intersection of their intrinsic interiors.
A closed bounded convex set is a ball around each intrinsic interior point. For a closed
bounded convex set C of a real normed space and a point c of its intrinsic interior, the closed
unit ball of the direction of the affine span of C is homeomorphic to C. The homeomorphism
sends 0 to c and v to c + (‖v‖ / gauge (-c +ᵥ C) v) • v
(TauCeti.coe_convexClosedBallHomeomorph_apply): it rescales the ray through v by Mathlib's
gaugeRescaleHomeomorph, then translates by c.
Instances For
The convex-ball homeomorphism is gauge rescaling followed by translation by c.
TauCeti.convexClosedBallHomeomorph in explicit coordinates: v is sent to

TauCeti.convexClosedBallHomeomorph sends the centre of the ball to c.
The inverse convex-ball homeomorphism translates by -c, then rescales by the gauge.
The inverse of TauCeti.convexClosedBallHomeomorph in explicit coordinates: x is sent to

The unit sphere corresponds exactly to the intrinsic frontier under the convex-ball homeomorphism. No full-dimensionality assumption is needed. Use this as an explicit rewrite; the native simp normal form expands membership in the intrinsic frontier.
