\chapter{Linear function}
\section{Defined on $\mdr$}
\begin{theorem}[Solution formula for linear functions on $\mdr$]
Let $f: \mdr \rightarrow \mdr $ be a linear function
$f(x) := m \cdot x + t$ with $m \in \mdr \setminus \Set{0}$ and
$t \in \mdr$ be a linear function.
Then there is only one point $(x, f(x))$ on the graph of $f$ with
minimal distance to $P = (x_P, y_P)$. This point is given by
\[x = \frac{m}{m^2+1} \left ( y_P + \frac{1}{m} \cdot x_P - t \right )\]

\begin{proof}
With Theorem~\ref{thm:fermats-theorem} you get:
\begin{align}
0 &\stackrel{!}{=} (d_{P,f}(x)^2)'\\
&= 2(x-x_P) + 2 (f(x) - y_P)f'(x)\\
\Leftrightarrow 0 &\stackrel{!}{=} x - x_P + (f(x) - y_P) f'(x)\\
&= x- x_P + (mx+t - y_P)\cdot m\\
&= x (m+1) + m(t-y_P) - x_P\\
\Leftrightarrow x &\stackrel{!}{=} \frac{x_p - m(t-y_p)}{m^2+1}\\
&= \frac{m}{m^2+1} \left ( y_P + \frac{1}{m} \cdot x_P - t \right )\label{eq:solution-linear-r}
\end{align}
It is obvious that a minium has to exist, the $x$ from Equation~\ref{eq:solution-linear-r}
has to be this minimum. $\qed$

\section{Defined on a closed interval $[a,b] \subseteq \mdr$}
Let $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mdr$, $f(x) := m\cdot x + t$ with $a,b,m,t \in \mdr$ and
$a \leq b$, $m \neq 0$ be a linear function.

\caption{Different situations when you have linear functions which
are defined on a closed intervall}
\label{fig:linear-min-distance-closed-intervall}
\end{figure}
The point with minimum distance can be found by:
\[\underset{x\in[a,b]}{\arg \min d_{P,f}(x)} = \begin{cases}
S_1(f, P) &\text{if } S_1(f, P) \cap [a,b] \neq \emptyset\\
\Set{a} &\text{if } S_1(f, P) \ni x < a\\
\Set{b} &\text{if } S_1(f, P) \ni x > b
\end{cases}\]
If $S_1(f, P) \cap [a,b] \neq \emptyset$, then $\underset{x\in[a,b]}{\arg \min d_{P,f}(x)} = S_1(f,P) \cap [a,b]$,
because $S_1(f,P)$ gives all global minima of $f$. Those are also
minima for the intervall $[a,b]$. There are not more minima, because
$S_1$ gives all minima of $P$ to $f$.
If $S_1(f, P) \cap [a,b] = \emptyset$, then it is not that simple.
But we can calculate the distance function:
\begin{align}
d_{P,f}(x) &= \sqrt{(x-x_P)^2 + (f(x) - y_P)^2}\\
&= \sqrt{(x^2 - 2x x_P + x_P^2) + (mx + (t-y_P))^2}\\
&= \sqrt{(x^2 - 2x x_P + x_P^2) + m^2 x^2 + 2mx(t-y_P) + (t-y_P)^2}\\
&= \sqrt{x^2(1+m^2) + x(-2 x_P + 2m(t-y_P)) + (x_P^2 + (t-y_P)^2)}
\end{align}
This function (defined on $\mdr$) is symmetry to the axis
\begin{align}
x_S &= - \frac{-2 x_P + 2m(t-y_P)}{2(1+m^2)}\\
&= \frac{x_P - m(t-y_P)}{1+m^2}\\
&= \frac{m}{m^2+1} (y_P + \frac{1}{m} x_P - t)
\end{align}
$f$ is on $(-\infty, x_S]$ strictly monotonically decreasing and
on $[x_S, + \infty)$ strictly monotonically increasing.
Thus we can conclude:
\[\forall x,y \in \mdr: x \leq y < x_S \Rightarrow d_{P,f}(x_S) < d_{P,f}(y) \leq d_{P,f}(x)\]
\[\forall x,y \in \mdr: x_S < y \leq x \Rightarrow d_{P,f}(x_S) < d_{P,f}(y) \leq d_{P,f}(x)\]
When $S_1(f, P) \cap [a,b] = \emptyset$, then you can have two cases:
\begin{itemize}
\item $a \leq b < x_S$: $b$ has the shortest distance in $[a,b]$
on the graph of $f$ to $P$.
\item $x_S < a \leq b$: $a$ has the shortest distance in $[a,b]$
on the graph of $f$ to $P$.
\end{itemize}
