Uniformly convex spaces #
This file defines uniformly convex spaces, which are real normed vector spaces in which for all
strictly positive ε, there exists some strictly positive δ such that ε ≤ ‖x - y‖ implies
‖x + y‖ ≤ 2 - δ for all x and y of norm at most than 1. This means that the triangle
inequality is strict with a uniform bound, as opposed to strictly convex spaces where the triangle
inequality is strict but not necessarily uniformly (‖x + y‖ < ‖x‖ + ‖y‖ for all x and y not in
the same ray).

A uniformly convex space is a real normed space where the triangle inequality is strict with a
uniform bound. Namely, over the x and y of norm 1, ‖x + y‖ is uniformly bounded above
by a constant < 2 when ‖x - y‖ is uniformly bounded below by a positive constant.
