Definition:Closed Ball/P-adic Numbers

Definition
Let $p$ be a prime number.

Let $\struct {\Q_p, \norm {\,\cdot\,}_p}$ be the $p$-adic numbers with $p$-adic norm $\norm {\,\cdot\,}_p : \Q_p \times \Q_p \to \R_{\ge 0}$.

Let $a \in \Q_p$.

Let $\epsilon \in \R_{>0}$ be a strictly positive real number.

The closed $\epsilon$-ball of $a$ in $\struct {\Q_p, \norm {\,\cdot\,}_p }$ is defined as:


 * $\map { {B_\epsilon}^-} a = \set {x \in R: \norm {x - a}_p \le \epsilon}$
