Exercise 3.28 (Scott 1981, PRG-19, §3) — the elementwise formula for the least #
map
In (𝒟₀ → 𝒟₁), let ⋂ {[Xᵢ, Yᵢ] ∣ i < n} be a non-empty neighbourhood.
Proposition 3.9
characterizes its minimal element f₀ as a relation (leastMap, X f₀ Y ↔ ⋂{Yᵢ ∣ X ⊆ Xᵢ} ⊆ Y).
Exercise 3.28 asks for the elementwise description:
f₀(x) = ⊔ { ↑Yᵢ ∣ x ∈ [Xᵢ] } for x ∈ |𝒟₀|,
where x ∈ [Xᵢ] means Xᵢ ∈ x (the input is at least as defined as Xᵢ). We
formalize this as
toElementMap_leastMap_eq_sSup: f₀(x) is the least upper bound (Exercise 1.27's
sSup) of the
principal filters ↑Yᵢ over the active indices.
The proof shows f₀(x) is the least upper bound of that set: it is an upper
bound
(val_le_leastMap_toElementMap, from Yᵢ ∈ f₀(x)), and it is least
(leastMap_toElementMap_le_of_ub, because any upper bound contains every relevant
Yᵢ, hence the
finite intersection ⋂{Yᵢ ∣ X ⊆ Xᵢ}); the equality with ⊔ then follows by
antisymmetry.
Everything is choice-free (#print axioms ⊆ {propext, Quot.sound}).
A filter z contains the finite intersection ⋂{Yᵢ ∣ X ⊆ Xᵢ} (inside Δ₁)
as soon as it
contains each Yᵢ whose input Xᵢ ⊇ X. (The element-side analogue of
rel_interYs.)
Exercise 3.28 — the active values. The set { ↑Yᵢ ∣ x ∈ [Xᵢ] } of
principal filters whose
input Xᵢ is a member of x.
Equations
Instances For
Each active value ↑Yᵢ (with Xᵢ ∈ x) approximates f₀(x), because Yᵢ ∈ f₀(x).
The active values are bounded (by f₀(x)).
f₀(x) is a lower bound of the upper bounds: any upper bound z of the
active values
dominates f₀(x). (Uses that z then contains ⋂{Yᵢ ∣ X ⊆ Xᵢ}.)
Exercise 3.28 (Scott 1981, PRG-19). The least map's elementwise action is
the least upper
bound of the active principal filters: f₀(x) = ⊔ { ↑Yᵢ ∣ x ∈ [Xᵢ] }.
