The Lᵖ seminorm of a displacement is that of the distance #
On a seminormed additive group E the extended distance is the extended norm of the difference,
edist x y = ‖x - y‖ₑ. So under any measure π on E × E the displacement (x, y) ↦ x - y and
the ground distance (x, y) ↦ edist x y have the same Lᵖ seminorm
(MeasureTheory.eLpNorm_sub_eq_eLpNorm_edist). This turns an Lᵖ cost written with edist, as
in optimal transport, into the Lᵖ seminorm of an E-valued function, to which the linear
structure of E applies (for instance, scaling by a constant).
The measurability assumptions on E make both functions almost everywhere strongly measurable,
which MeasureTheory.eLpNorm_congr_enorm_ae needs.
On a pseudometric space, MeasureTheory.memLp_dist_iff_memLp_edist likewise identifies membership
in Lᵖ of the real distance to a basepoint with that of the extended distance.
The Minkowski estimate MeasureTheory.eLpNorm_edist_le_add bounds the Lᵖ seminorm of
x ↦ edist (f' x) (g' x) by that of x ↦ edist (f x) (g x) plus the seminorms of the two
displacements x ↦ edist (f x) (f' x) and x ↦ edist (g x) (g' x).
Under any law π on pairs of points of a seminormed group, the displacement x - y and the
ground distance edist x y have the same Lᵖ seminorm.
On a pseudometric space, the real-distance and extended-distance formulations of
finite p-moment at a basepoint agree.
Minkowski bound for distances. For maps f g f' g' : α → Y into a pseudo-emetric space
and 1 ≤ p, the Lᵖ(μ) seminorm of x ↦ edist (f' x) (g' x) is at most that of
x ↦ edist (f x) (g x) plus those of the two displacements x ↦ edist (f x) (f' x) and
x ↦ edist (g x) (g' x).
