Extreme sets

This file defines extreme sets and extreme points for sets in a module.

An extreme set of A is a subset of A that is as far as it can get in any outward direction: If point x is in it and point y ∈ A, then the line passing through x and y leaves A at x. This is an analytic notion of "being on the side of". It is weaker than being exposed (see IsExposed.isExtreme).

Main declarations

• IsExtreme 𝕜 A B: States that B is an extreme set of A (in the literature, A is often implicit).
• Set.extremePoints 𝕜 A: Set of extreme points of A (corresponding to extreme singletons).
• Convex.mem_extremePoints_iff_convex_diff: A useful equivalent condition to being an extreme point: x is an extreme point iff A \ {x} is convex.

Implementation notes

The exact definition of extremeness has been carefully chosen so as to make as many lemmas unconditional (in particular, the Krein-Milman theorem doesn't need the set to be convex!). In practice, A is often assumed to be a convex set.

def IsExtreme (𝕜 : Type u_1) {E : Type u_2} [Semiring 𝕜] [PartialOrder 𝕜] [AddCommMonoid E] [SMul 𝕜 E] (A B : Set E) : Prop

A set B is an extreme subset of A if B ⊆ A and all points of B only belong to open segments whose ends are in B.

def Set.extremePoints (𝕜 : Type u_1) {E : Type u_2} [Semiring 𝕜] [PartialOrder 𝕜] [AddCommMonoid E] [SMul 𝕜 E] (A : Set E) : Set E

A point x is an extreme point of a set A if x belongs to no open segment with ends in A, except for the obvious openSegment x x.

In order to prove that x is an extreme point of A, it is convenient to use mem_extremePoints_iff_left to avoid repeating arguments twice.

In order to prove that a point x is an extreme point of a set A, it suffices to show that x ∈ A and for any x₁, x₂ such that x belongs to the open segment (x₁, x₂), we have x₁ = x.

The definition of extremePoints also requires x₂ = x, but this condition is redundant.
