Upper / lower bounds #
In this file we define:
upper_bounds
,lower_bounds
: the set of upper bounds (resp., lower bounds) of a set;bdd_above s
,bdd_below s
: the sets
is bounded above (resp., below), i.e., the set of upper (resp., lower) bounds ofs
is nonempty;is_least s a
,is_greatest s a
:a
is a least (resp., greatest) element ofs
; for a partial order, it is unique if exists;is_lub s a
,is_glb s a
:a
is a least upper bound (resp., a greatest lower bound) ofs
; for a partial order, it is unique if exists.
We also prove various lemmas about monotonicity, behaviour under ∪
, ∩
, insert
, and provide
formulas for ∅
, univ
, and intervals.
Definitions #
The set of upper bounds of a set.
Equations
- upper_bounds s = {x : α | ∀ ⦃a : α⦄, a ∈ s → a ≤ x}
The set of lower bounds of a set.
Equations
- lower_bounds s = {x : α | ∀ ⦃a : α⦄, a ∈ s → x ≤ a}
a
is a greatest element of a set s
; for a partial order, it is unique if exists
Equations
- is_greatest s a = (a ∈ s ∧ a ∈ upper_bounds s)
a
is a greatest lower bound of a set s
; for a partial order, it is unique if exists.
Equations
- is_glb s = is_greatest (lower_bounds s)
A set s
is not bounded above if and only if for each x
there exists y ∈ s
such that x
is not greater than or equal to y
. This version only assumes preorder
structure and uses
¬(y ≤ x)
. A version for linear orders is called not_bdd_above_iff
.
A set s
is not bounded below if and only if for each x
there exists y ∈ s
such that x
is not less than or equal to y

A set s
is not bounded above if and only if for each x

that is greater
than x

Monotonicity #
Conversions #
If s
has a greatest element, then it is bounded above.
Union and intersection #
If s
and t
are bounded above sets in a semilattice_sup
, then so is s ∪ t
.
The union of two sets is bounded above if and only if each of the sets is.
The union of two sets is bounded above if and only if each of the sets is.
If a
is the least upper bound of s
and b
is the least upper bound of t
,
then a ⊔ b
is the least upper bound of s ∪ t
.
If a
is the greatest lower bound of s
and b
is the greatest lower bound of t
,
then a ⊓ b
is the greatest lower bound of s ∪ t
.
If a
is the least element of s
and b
is the least element of t
,
then min a b
is the least element of s ∪ t
.
If a
is the greatest element of s
and b
is the greatest element of t
,
then max a b
is the greatest element of s ∪ t
.
