Rational parametrization of a Euclidean circle

Definition
Esgk_CircleRationalParametrization

by mysticflounder · Oct 16, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

geometryparametrizationreal-analysis

This defines a rational parametrization of a Euclidean circle, with its evaluation identities, coverage away from the base point and injectivity for nonzero radius. It also bounds finite sets covered by polynomial-root images, optionally with one additional base point.
