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.

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
.

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.

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.
Pointwise, the indicators of closed δ-thickenings of a set eventually coincide with the indicator of the set as δ tends to zero.
