Symmetric lens

MathlibAnnex.symmetricLens

def

Names the intersection of two closed balls with a common radius.

Statement

Let be a normed additive commutative group, let , and let . The symmetric lens with foci and radius is the set defined below.

Definition

Write . Then Thus membership imposes both closed distance bounds with the same radius.

Assumptions

Only the normed additive commutative group , two points , and a real number are required. The foci may coincide, and need not be positive.

Conclusion

The output is a subset of , symmetric in its two foci: . If , it is empty because norms are nonnegative. No midpoint or reflection assertion is part of this definition.
