Lemmas about (e)metric spaces that need partition of unity #
The main lemma in this file (see Metric.exists_continuous_real_forall_closedBall_subset) says the
following. Let X be a metric space. Let K : ι → Set X be a locally finite family of closed sets,
let U : ι → Set X be a family of open sets such that K i ⊆ U i for all i. Then there exists a
positive continuous function δ : C(X, → ℝ) such that for any i and x ∈ K i, we have
Metric.closedBall x (δ x) ⊆ U i. We also formulate versions of this lemma for extended metric
spaces and for different codomains (ℝ, ℝ≥0, and ℝ≥0∞).
We also prove a few auxiliary lemmas to be used later in a proof of the smooth version of this lemma.

Let K : ι → Set X be a locally finite family of closed sets in an emetric space. Let
U : ι → Set X be a family of open sets such that K i ⊆ U i for all i. Then for any point
x : X, for sufficiently small r : ℝ≥0∞ and for y sufficiently close to x, for all i, if
y ∈ K i, then EMetric.closedBall y r ⊆ U i.
Let X be an extended metric space. Let K : ι → Set X be a locally finite family of closed
sets, let U : ι → Set X be a family of open sets such that K i ⊆ U i for all i. Then there
exists a positive continuous function δ : C(X, ℝ) such that for any i and x ∈ K i,
we have EMetric.closedBall x (ENNReal.ofReal (δ x)) ⊆ U i.
