Asymptotic cone of a set #
This file defines the asymptotic cone of a set in a topological affine space.
Implementation details #
The asymptotic cone of a set $A$ is usually defined as the set of points $v$ for which there exist
sequences $t_n > 0$ and $x_n \in A$ such that $t_n \to 0$ and $t_n x_n \to v$. We take a different
approach here using filters: we define the asymptotic cone of s as the set of vectors v such
that āį¶  p in Filter.atTop ⢠š v, p ā s holds.
Main definitions #
AffineSpace.asymptoticNhds: the filter of neighborhoods at infinity in some direction.asymptoticCone: the asymptotic cone of a subset of a topological affine space.

In a topological affine space P over k, AffineSpace.asymptoticNhds k P v is the filter of
neighborhoods at infinity in directions near v. In a topological vector space, this is the filter
Filter.atTop ⢠š v. To support affine spaces, the actual definition is different and should be
considered an implementation detail. Use AffineSpace.asymptoticNhds_eq_smul or
AffineSpace.asymptoticNhds_eq_smul_vadd for unfolding.

Instances For
The set of directions v for which the set has points arbitrarily far in directions near v.
Instances For
If a closed set s is star-convex at p and v is in the asymptotic cone of s, then the ray
of direction v starting from p is contained in s.
If v is in the asymptotic cone of a closed convex set s, then for every p ā s, the ray of
direction v starting from p is contained in s.
If v is in the asymptotic cone of a convex set s, then for every interior point p, the ray
of direction v starting from p is contained in s.
