Lipschitz continuous functions

A map f : α → β between two (extended) metric spaces is called Lipschitz continuous with constant K ≥ 0 if for all x, y we have edist (f x) (f y) ≤ K * edist x y. For a metric space, the latter inequality is equivalent to dist (f x) (f y) ≤ K * dist x y. There is also a version asserting this inequality only for x and y in some set s. Finally, f : α → β is called locally Lipschitz continuous if each x : α has a neighbourhood on which f is Lipschitz continuous (with some constant).

In this file we specialize various facts about Lipschitz continuous maps to the case of (pseudo) metric spaces.

Implementation notes

The parameter K has type ℝ≥0. This way we avoid conjunction in the definition and have coercions both to ℝ and ℝ≥0∞. Constructors whose names end with ' take K : ℝ as an argument, and return LipschitzWith (Real.toNNReal K) f.
