Cospherical points
Builds on SphereMetric space
Definition
Let be a metric space and let be a set of points. The set is cospherical if there are a point and a real number such that for every . That is, is contained in the sphere with centre and radius .
Remarks
This is the form of Mathlib's EuclideanGeometry.Cospherical.
In the Euclidean plane, cospherical points are the same as concyclic points.
In , any affinely independent points are cospherical, and their sphere is the circumsphere of the simplex they span.
Example: the eight vertices of a cube in are cospherical. Each lies at distance from .
Non-example: the points , , of are not cospherical. A point equidistant from the first two has -coordinate , and a point equidistant from the last two has -coordinate , so no centre exists.
