Topological results on ordinals #

A handful of order-topological facts used to set up the theory of clubs.

Accumulation points and closed-below sets #

Mathlib's Ordinal.IsAcc/Ordinal.IsClosedBelow were deprecated in favour of the generic topological AccPt/IsClosed. We keep working with the ordinal-specific phrasing through these local replacements, defined exactly as the former Mathlib declarations together with the small API the rest of the development relies on.

An ordinal is an accumulation point of a set of ordinals if it is positive and there are elements in the set arbitrarily close to the ordinal from below.

    A set of ordinals is closed below an ordinal if it contains all of its accumulation points below the ordinal.
