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.

Scalar multiplication (by possibly different types) of a balanced set is monotone.
A balanced set absorbs itself.
Every neighbourhood of the origin is absorbent.
The union of {0} with the interior of a balanced set is balanced.
The interior of a balanced set is balanced if it contains the origin.
