Betweenness in affine spaces for strictly convex spaces #
This file proves results about betweenness for points in an affine space for a strictly convex space.
Given three collinear points, two (not equal) with distance r
from p
and one with
distance at most r
from p
, the third point is weakly between the other two points.
Given three collinear points, two (not equal) with distance r
from p
and one with
distance less than r
from p
, the third point is strictly between the other two points.
In a strictly convex space, the triangle inequality turns into an equality if and only if the middle point belongs to the segment joining two other points.
An isometry of NormedAddTorsor
s for real normed spaces, strictly convex in the case of the
codomain, is an affine isometry. Unlike Mazur-Ulam, this does not require the isometry to be
surjective.
