The meridional segment through the axis #
The continuity statements for u_r / r and for ω_θ / r across the axis are all proved the
same way: the quotient at (x₁, 0, x₃) is an average of a radial derivative along the segment
s ↦ (s x₁, 0, x₃), s ∈ [0, 1], which stays inside the unit ball. This module collects the
elementary facts about that segment and about the clamp s ↦ max 0 (min s 1) used to extend
the segment parameter to all of ℝ, so that the several quotient modules share one copy.
The first coordinate of a meridional point is its axis distance.
The meridional point (a, 0, x₃) written in the standard basis.
