Module docstring
{"# Local convexity
This file defines absorbent and balanced sets.
An absorbent set is one that \"surrounds\" the origin. The idea is made precise by requiring that any point belongs to all large enough scalings of the set. This is the vector world analog of a topological neighborhood of the origin.
A balanced set is one that is everywhere around the origin. This means that a • s ⊆ s for all a
of norm less than 1.
Main declarations
For a module over a normed ring:
* Absorbs: A set s absorbs a set t if all large scalings of s contain t.
* Absorbent: A set s is absorbent if every point eventually belongs to all large scalings of
s.
* Balanced: A set s is balanced if a • s ⊆ s for all a of norm less than 1.
