Exercise 4.10 (Scott 1981, PRG-19, Lecture IV) — the relativized domain Dₐ #
Given a domain 𝒟 and an element a ∈ |𝒟|, construct a domain Dₐ whose
elements are exactly
the elements below a:
|Dₐ| = {x ∈ |𝒟| ∣ x ⊑ a}.
Construction. relSystem a keeps the same tokens and master Δ, but takes as
neighbourhoods
exactly the members of the filter a (mem X := a.mem X). This is a
neighbourhood system because
a, being a filter, contains Δ and is closed under consistent intersections.
Its filters are in
order-isomorphism with the elements of 𝒟 below a (relIso): a Dₐ-filter g
is sent to its
𝒟-upward-closure embed a g, and an element x ⊑ a is sent to its restriction
restrict a x
(automatically a Dₐ-filter since x.mem ⊆ a.mem).
Restriction of f. If f : 𝒟 → 𝒟 is approximable and f(a) = a (e.g. a = fix(f), by
Theorem 4.1), then f restricts to an approximable f' : Dₐ → Dₐ (relMap) with
the same
action (embed a (f'(g)) = f(embed a g), relMap_toElementMap_embed). The
codomain condition
f.rel X Y ⟹ a.mem Y for a-neighbourhoods X holds because ↑X ⊑ a, so Y ∈ f(↑X) ⊑ f(a) = a.
How many fixed points does f' have? When a = fix(f), exactly one
(relMap_unique_fixed):
the top element of Dₐ (corresponding to fix(f) itself). Any fixed point of f
below fix(f) is
a pre-fixed point, hence ⊒ fix(f) by leastness (fixElement_below_unique), so
it equals fix(f).
All constructions are choice-free; equalities of Element/maps use the

The relativized domain Dₐ. #
Exercise 4.10 (Scott 1981, PRG-19). The relativized neighbourhood system
Dₐ: same tokens
and master, neighbourhoods exactly the members of the filter a.
Equations
Instances For
The 𝒟-element obtained from a Dₐ-filter by upward closure in 𝒟.
Equations
Instances For
The Dₐ-filter obtained from an element x ⊑ a by restriction (same
membership).
Equations
Instances For
embed a g ⊑ a: the embedding lands below a.
Exercise 4.10 (Scott 1981, PRG-19). |Dₐ| ≃o {x ∈ |𝒟| ∣ x ⊑ a}: the
relativized domain has
exactly the elements below a as its points, with the inherited order.

Restricting an endomap with f(a) = a. #
Exercise 4.10 (Scott 1981, PRG-19). When f(a) = a, the restriction f' : Dₐ → Dₐ
(f'(x) = f(x)). The codomain condition uses ↑X ⊑ a ⟹ f(↑X) ⊑ f(a) = a.
Equations
Instances For
The restriction f' has the same action as f: embed a (f'(g)) = f(embed a g).
How many fixed points does f' have? #
Exercise 4.10 (Scott 1981, PRG-19). Any fixed point of f below fix(f)
is fix(f):
a fixed point is a pre-fixed point, so leastness forces fix(f) ⊑ x.
Exercise 4.10 (Scott 1981, PRG-19). With a = fix(f), the restricted map
f' has exactly
one fixed point: the top element of D_{fix f}, namely restrict (fix f) of
fix f itself. Every
Dₐ-fixed point g of f' satisfies embed a g = fix f, hence is this top
element.
