Successor and predecessor limits #
We define the predicate Order.IsSuccLimit
for "successor limits", values that don't cover any
others. They are so named since they can't be the successors of anything smaller. We define
Order.IsPredLimit
analogously, and prove basic results.
Todo #
The plan is to eventually replace Ordinal.IsLimit
and Cardinal.IsLimit
with the common
predicate Order.IsSuccLimit
.
Successor limits #
A successor limit is a value that doesn't cover any other.
It's so named because in a successor order, a successor limit can't be the successor of anything smaller.
Equations
- Order.IsSuccLimit a = ∀ (b : α), ¬b ⋖ a
Instances For
See not_isSuccLimit_iff
for a version that states that a
is a successor of a value other
than itself.
A value can be built by building it on successors and successor limits.
Equations
- Order.isSuccLimitRecOn b hs hl = if hb : Order.IsSuccLimit b then hl b hb else let_fun H := ⋯; Eq.mpr ⋯ (hs (Classical.choose ⋯) ⋯)

Predecessor limits #
A predecessor limit is a value that isn't covered by any other.
It's so named because in a predecessor order, a predecessor limit can't be the predecessor of anything greater.
