Separation Hahn-Banach theorem #

In this file we prove the geometric Hahn-Banach theorem. For any two disjoint convex sets, there exists a continuous linear functional separating them, geometrically meaning that we can intercalate a plane between them.

We provide many variations to stricten the result under more assumptions on the convex sets:

Given a set s which is a convex neighbourhood of 0 and a point x₀ outside of it, there is a continuous linear functional f separating x₀ and s, in the sense that it sends x₀ to 1 and all of s to values strictly below 1.
