Thickened indicators #
This file is about thickened indicators of sets in (pseudo e)metric spaces. For a decreasing sequence of thickening radii tending to 0, the thickened indicators of a closed set form a decreasing pointwise converging approximation of the indicator function of the set, where the members of the approximating sequence are nonnegative bounded continuous functions.

Main results #
- For a sequence of thickening radii tending to 0, the
δ-thickened indicators of a setEtend pointwise to the indicator ofclosure E.thickenedIndicatorAux_tendsto_indicator_closure: The version is for the unbundledℝ≥0∞-valued functions.thickenedIndicator_tendsto_indicator_closure: The version is for the bundledℝ≥0-valued bounded continuous functions.
The δ-thickened indicator of a set E is the function that equals 1 on E
and 0 outside a δ-thickening of E and interpolates (continuously) between
these values using infEdist _ E.
thickenedIndicatorAux is the unbundled ℝ≥0∞-valued function. See thickenedIndicator
for the (bundled) bounded continuous function with ℝ≥0-values.
Equations
- thickenedIndicatorAux δ E x = 1 - EMetric.infEdist x E / ENNReal.ofReal δ
Instances For
As the thickening radius δ tends to 0, the δ-thickened indicator of a set E (in α) tends
pointwise (i.e., w.r.t. the product topology on α → ℝ≥0∞) to the indicator function of the
closure of E.
This statement is for the unbundled ℝ≥0∞-valued functions thickenedIndicatorAux δ E, see
thickenedIndicator_tendsto_indicator_closure for the version for bundled ℝ≥0-valued
bounded continuous functions.

Instances For
As the thickening radius δ tends to 0, the δ-thickened indicator of a set E (in α) tends pointwise to the indicator function of the closure of E.
Note: This version is for the bundled bounded continuous functions, but the topology is not
the topology on α →ᵇ ℝ≥0. Coercions to functions α → ℝ≥0 are done first, so the topology
instance is the product topology (the topology of pointwise convergence).
Pointwise, the indicators of δ-thickenings of a set eventually coincide with the indicator of the set as δ>0 tends to zero.
Pointwise, the multiplicative indicators of δ-thickenings of a set eventually coincide with the multiplicative indicator of the set as δ>0 tends to zero.
