Hausdorff distance

The Hausdorff distance on subsets of a metric (or emetric) space.

Given two subsets s and t of a metric space, their Hausdorff distance is the smallest d such that any point s is within d of a point in t, and conversely. This quantity is often infinite (think of s bounded and t unbounded), and therefore better expressed in the setting of emetric spaces.

Main definitions

This files introduces:

• EMetric.infEdist x s, the infimum edistance of a point x to a set s in an emetric space
• EMetric.hausdorffEdist s t, the Hausdorff edistance of two sets in an emetric space
• Versions of these notions on metric spaces, called respectively Metric.infDist and Metric.hausdorffDist

Main results

• infEdist_closure: the edistance to a set and its closure coincide

• EMetric.mem_closure_iff_infEdist_zero: a point x belongs to the closure of s iff infEdist x s = 0

• IsCompact.exists_infEdist_eq_edist: if s is compact and non-empty, there exists a point y which attains this edistance

• IsOpen.exists_iUnion_isClosed: every open set U can be written as the increasing union of countably many closed subsets of U

• hausdorffEdist_closure: replacing a set by its closure does not change the Hausdorff edistance

• hausdorffEdist_zero_iff_closure_eq_closure: two sets have Hausdorff edistance zero iff their closures coincide

• the Hausdorff edistance is symmetric and satisfies the triangle inequality

• in particular, closed sets in an emetric space are an emetric space (this is shown in EMetricSpace.closeds.emetricspace)

• versions of these notions on metric spaces

• hausdorffEdist_ne_top_of_nonempty_of_bounded: if two sets in a metric space are nonempty and bounded in a metric space, they are at finite Hausdorff edistance.

Then their properties follow readily from the corresponding properties in ℝ≥0∞, modulo some tedious rewriting of inequalities from one to the other.
