NRR.Multivalued.ZeroSet — zero sets, fibers, and existence of zeros #
The graph of a nice multivalued function is the zero set of its scalar observable. This module
defines the zero predicate, the total zero set on X × SignedInterval, and the vertical zero
fiber over a base point. It records that these sets are closed, that fibers are compact and
nonempty, and that the total zero set is compact when X is compact.
Existence of a zero in every vertical fiber follows from the intermediate value theorem: the
observable is strictly negative at the left endpoint and strictly positive at the right endpoint,
and the signed interval is connected, so the continuous image contains 0. No zero selector is
introduced; only existence is proved. Zeros never occur at either endpoint, by the strict signs.
A point (x, y) is a zero of φ when the observable vanishes there.
