How do max and union commute in Hausdorff measure?

Recall that $d_H(A,B) = max{max_{a in A} min_{b in B} d(a,b),max_{b in B} min_{a in A} d(a,b)}$




Theorem: Let $A,B,C in H(X)$ (where $H(X)$ is the set of non-empty compact subsets of $X$). Then $d_H(A cup B,C) = max {d_H(A,C),d_H(B,C)}$




This claim appears in the book on fractals and splines by Peter Massopust. However, I'm not able to connect the hint below with the statement of the theorem:




Proof: Note that
begin{align}
d(Acup B, C) &= max_{alphain Acup B} d(alpha, C) = maxleft{ max_{alphain A} d(alpha,C), max_{alphain B} d(alpha,C)right} \
&= max{ d(A,C), d(B,C)}
end{align}

which implies that claim. (The reader is encouraged to verify this).




It seems that the definition of $d$ is (see the book Fractals everywhere) taken to be $d(A,B) = max{d(a,B):a in A}$. So the above hint makes sense.



So how can I use this hint to prove my theorem?



My try:



$d_H(A cup B,C) = max {d(A cup B,C) , d(C, A cup B) }$



by definition. Then, by the hint:



$d_H(A cup B,C) = max {max{d(A cup B,C), d(C,A cup B)} , d(C, A cup B) }$



then, I take the other member:



$max{d_H(A,C),d_H(B,C)} = max {max{d(A,C), d(C,A)} , {max{d(B,C), d(C,B)} }$



again by definition. Two terms are in the two sides, but I would need an equality of the sort $d(C,A cup B) = max {d(C,A),d(C,B)}$. This reduces to show:



$max_{c in C}{min_{a in A cup B} d(c,a)} = max{max_{c in C}{min_{a in A} d(c,a),max_{c in C}{min_{a in B} d(c,a)}}$

Up to now I have an equality, this comes from Barnsley's "Superfractals", 2006:



The keypoint is the following non-trivial inequality:



$d(C, A cup B) = max_{c in C} min_{x in A cup B} d(c,x) = max_{c in C} min { min_{a in A} d(c,a), min_{b in B} d(c,b)} le min{ max_{c in C} min_{a in A} d(c,a), max_{c in C} min_{b in B} d(c,b) } = min { d(C,A),d(C,B) }$



This inequality gives us that $d(C,A cup B) le d(C,A),d(C,B)$ and $d(C,A cup B) le max{d(C,A),d(C,B)}$.



On the other hand, we also know that $d(B cup C, A) = max{d(B,A),d(C,A)}$.



Finally,



$d_H(A cup B,C) = max {d(C,A cup B),d(A cup B,C) } le max { d(C,A),d(A,C),d(C,B),d(B,C)} = max{d_H(A,C),d_H(B,C)}$



The other inequality is immediate, since:



$d_H(A,C),d_H(B,C) le d_H(A cup B,C)$



so that $max{d_H(A,C),d_H(B,C)} le d_H(A cup B,C)$.
