Minimal/maximal and bottom/top elements

This file defines predicates for elements to be minimal/maximal or bottom/top and typeclasses saying that there are no such elements.

Predicates

• IsBot: An element is bottom if all elements are greater than it.
• IsTop: An element is top if all elements are less than it.
• IsMin: An element is minimal if no element is strictly less than it.
• IsMax: An element is maximal if no element is strictly greater than it.

See also isBot_iff_isMin and isTop_iff_isMax for the equivalences in a (co)directed order.

Typeclasses

• NoBotOrder: An order without bottom elements.
• NoTopOrder: An order without top elements.
• NoMinOrder: An order without minimal elements.
• NoMaxOrder: An order without maximal elements.

class NoBotOrder (α : Type u_3) [LE α] : Prop

Order without bottom elements.

• exists_not_ge (a : α) : ∃ (b : α), ¬a ≤ b

  For each term a, there is some b which is either incomparable or strictly smaller.

class NoTopOrder (α : Type u_3) [LE α] : Prop

Order without top elements.

• exists_not_le (a : α) : ∃ (b : α), ¬b ≤ a

  For each term a, there is some b which is either incomparable or strictly larger.

class NoMinOrder (α : Type u_3) [LT α] : Prop

Order without minimal elements. Sometimes called coinitial or dense.

• exists_lt (a : α) : ∃ (b : α), b < a

  For each term a, there is some strictly smaller b.

class NoMaxOrder (α : Type u_3) [LT α] : Prop

def IsBot {α : Type u_1} [LE α] (a : α) : Prop

a : α is a bottom element of α if it is less than or equal to any other element of α. This predicate is roughly an unbundled version of OrderBot, except that a preorder may have several bottom elements. When α is linear, this is useful to make a case disjunction on NoMinOrder α within a proof.

Equations

• IsBot a = ∀ (b : α), a ≤ b

def IsTop {α : Type u_1} [LE α] (a : α) : Prop

a : α is a top element of α if it is greater than or equal to any other element of α. This predicate is roughly an unbundled version of OrderBot, except that a preorder may have several top elements. When α is linear, this is useful to make a case disjunction on NoMaxOrder α within a proof.

Equations

• IsTop a = ∀ (b : α), b ≤ a

def IsMin {α : Type u_1} [LE α] (a : α) : Prop

a is a minimal element of α if no element is strictly less than it. We spell it without < to avoid having to convert between ≤ and <. Instead, isMin_iff_forall_not_lt does the conversion.

Equations

• IsMin a = ∀ ⦃b : α⦄, b ≤ a → a ≤ b

def IsMax {α : Type u_1} [LE α] (a : α) : Prop

a is a maximal element of α if no element is strictly greater than it. We spell it without < to avoid having to convert between ≤ and <. Instead, isMax_iff_forall_not_lt does the conversion.

Equations

• IsMax a = ∀ ⦃b : α⦄, a ≤ b → b ≤ a
