Local convexity #
This file defines absorbent and balanced sets.
An absorbent set is one that "surrounds" the origin. The idea is made precise by requiring that any point belongs to all large enough scalings of the set. This is the vector world analog of a topological neighborhood of the origin.
A balanced set is one that is everywhere around the origin. This means that a • s ⊆ s
for all a
of norm less than 1
.
Main declarations #
For a module over a normed ring:
Absorbs
: A sets
absorbs a sett
if all large scalings ofs
containt
.Absorbent
: A sets
is absorbent if every point eventually belongs to all large scalings ofs
.Balanced
: A sets
is balanced ifa • s ⊆ s
for alla
of norm less than1
