Ordered Subtraction

This file proves lemmas relating (truncated) subtraction with an order. We provide a class OrderedSub stating that a - b ≤ c ↔ a ≤ c + b.

The subtraction discussed here could both be normal subtraction in an additive group or truncated subtraction on a canonically ordered monoid (ℕ, Multiset, PartENat, ENNReal, ...)

Implementation details

OrderedSub is a mixin type-class, so that we can use the results in this file even in cases where we don't have a CanonicallyOrderedAddCommMonoid instance (even though that is our main focus). Conversely, this means we can use CanonicallyOrderedAddCommMonoid without necessarily having to define a subtraction.

The results in this file are ordered by the type-class assumption needed to prove it. This means that similar results might not be close to each other. Furthermore, we don't prove implications if a bi-implication can be proven under the same assumptions.

Lemmas using this class are named using tsub instead of sub (short for "truncated subtraction"). This is to avoid naming conflicts with similar lemmas about ordered groups.

We provide a second version of most results that require [AddLeftReflectLE α]. In the second version we replace this type-class assumption by explicit AddLECancellable assumptions.

TODO: maybe we should make a multiplicative version of this, so that we can replace some identical lemmas about subtraction/division in Ordered[Add]CommGroup with these.

TODO: generalize Nat.le_of_le_of_sub_le_sub_right, Nat.sub_le_sub_right_iff, Nat.mul_self_sub_mul_self_eq

class OrderedSub (α : Type u_2) [LE α] [Add α] [Sub α] : Prop

OrderedSub α means that α has a subtraction characterized by a - b ≤ c ↔ a ≤ c + b. In other words, a - b is the least c such that a ≤ b + c.

This is satisfied both by the subtraction in additive ordered groups and by truncated subtraction in canonically ordered monoids on many specific types.

• tsub_le_iff_right : ∀ (a b c : α), a - b ≤ c ↔ a ≤ c + b

  a - b provides a lower bound on c such that a ≤ c + b.
