In order for convenience in checking definition along learning in Math, I found it necessary to gather definitions of the same kind so that distinguishing the differences among them will no longer be a tedious job. This work is very hard to do even many materials are available, if you want to use for commercial use, please contact me for permission. Furthermore, the work is still long from finished, if you want to contribute for more or better definitions, please contact me.

Theorem 1.3 Hahn-Banach 1st Geometric Form

Result
This makes it possible for us to use a hyperplane to separate a convex set and a convex open set if they have empty intersection.
Proof(See Appendix Above)
The proof of Theorem 1.2 relies on the Lemma 1.2 and the Lemma 1.3

Lemma 1.2
Statement

Result
This lemma makes it possible for us to construct a gauge function which (1) is able to be applied with the Hahn-Banach Theorem(2)bounded(3)generates the space
Proof(See Appendix Above)
(1)positive homogeneous is trivial. (3), (4)holds by the properties of open balls. (2) holds by the choice of t and arbitrary epsilon.

Lemma 1.3
Statement

Result
Exists a closed hyperplane which separates a singleton and an open convex set.
Proof(See Appendix Above)
By the Hahn-Banach Theorem, we have the maximal p(x) and the extension f(x), and for some chosen value of x0 we have the separation.
