Regular elements #

We introduce left-regular, right-regular and regular elements, along with their to_additive analogues add-left-regular, add-right-regular and add-regular elements.

By definition, a regular element in a commutative ring is a non-zero divisor. Lemma isRegular_of_ne_zero implies that every non-zero element of an integral domain is regular. Since it assumes that the ring is a CancelMonoidWithZero it applies also, for instance, to .

The lemmas in Section MulZeroClass show that the 0 element is (left/right-)regular if and only if the MulZeroClass is trivial. This is useful when figuring out stopping conditions for regular sequences: if 0 is ever an element of a regular sequence, then we can extend the sequence by adding one further 0.

The final goal is to develop part of the API to prove, eventually, results about non-zero-divisors.
