\chapter{Constant functions}
\section{Defined on $\mdr$}
Let $f:\mdr \rightarrow \mdr$, $f(x) := c$ with $c \in \mdr$ be a constant function.
The situation can be seen in Figure~\ref{fig:constant-min-distance}.

\begin{align}
d_{P,f}(x) &= \sqrt{(x_P - x)^2 + (y_P - f(x))^2}\\
&= \sqrt{(x_P^2 - 2x_P x + x^2) + (y_P^2 - 2 y_P c + c^2)} \\
&= \sqrt{x^2 - 2 x_P x + (x_P^2 + y_P^2 - 2 y_P c + c^2)}\label{eq:constant-function-distance}\\
\xRightarrow{\text{Theorem}~\ref{thm:fermats-theorem}} 0 &\stackrel{!}{=} (d_{P,f}(x)^2)'\\
&= 2x - 2x_P\\
\Leftrightarrow x &\stackrel{!}{=} x_P
\end{align}
Then $(x_P,f(x_P))$ has
minimal distance to $P$. Every other point has higher distance.
See Figure~\ref{fig:constant-min-distance} to see that intuition
yields to the same results.
This result means:
\[S_0(f, P) = \Set{x_P} \text{ with } P = (x_P, y_P)\]

\section{Defined on a closed interval $[a,b] \subseteq \mdr$}
Let $f:[a,b] \rightarrow \mdr$, $f(x) := c$ with $a,b,c \in \mdr$ and
$a \leq b$ be a constant function.

\end{figure}
The point with minimum distance can be found by:
\[\underset{x\in\mdr}{\arg \min d_{P,f}(x)} = \begin{cases}
S_0(f,P) &\text{if } S_0(f,P) \cap [a,b] \neq \emptyset \\
\Set{a} &\text{if } S_0(f,P) \ni x_P < a\\
\Set{b} &\text{if } S_0(f,P) \ni x_P > b
\end{cases}\]
Because:
\begin{align}
\underset{x\in[a,b]}{\arg \min d_{P,f}(x)} &= \underset{x\in[a,b]}{\arg \min d_{P,f}(x)^2}\\
&=\underset{x\in[a,b]}{\arg \min} x^2 - 2x_P x + (x_P^2 + y_P^2 - 2 y_P c + c^2)\\
&=\underset{x\in[a,b]}{\arg \min} x^2 - 2 x_P x + x_P^2\\
&=\underset{x\in[a,b]}{\arg \min} (x-x_P)^2
\end{align}
