Formalizing a Discrete Model of the Continuum in Coq from a Discrete Geometry Perspective

Résumé

This work presents a formalization of the discrete model of the continuum introduced by Harthong and Reeb, the Harthong-Reeb line. This model was at the origin of important developments in the Discrete Geometry field. The formalization is based on previous work by Chollet, Fuchs et al. where it was shown that the Harthong-Reeb line satisfies the axioms for constructive real numbers introduced by Bridges. Laugwitz-Schmieden numbers are then introduced and their limitations with respect to being a model of the Harthong-Reeb line is investigated. In this paper, we transpose all these definitions and properties into a formal description using the Coq proof assistant. We also show that Laugwitz-Schmieden numbers can be used to actually compute continuous functions. We hope that this work could improve techniques for both implementing numeric computations and reasoning about them in geometric systems.
