Circular order hierarchy #

This file defines circular preorders, circular partial orders and circular orders.

Hierarchy #

The intuition is that a circular order is a circle and btw a b c means that going around clockwise from a you reach b before c (b is between a and c is meaningless on an unoriented circle). A circular partial order is several, potentially intersecting, circles. A circular preorder is like a circular partial order, but several points can coexist.

Note that the relations between CircularPreorder, CircularPartialOrder and CircularOrder are subtler than between Preorder, PartialOrder, LinearOrder. In particular, one cannot simply extend the btw of a CircularPartialOrder to make it a CircularOrder.

One can translate from usual orders to circular ones by "closing the necklace at infinity". See LE.toBtw and LT.toSBtw. Going the other way involves "cutting the necklace" or "rolling the necklace open".

Examples #

Some concrete circular orders one encounters in the wild are ZMod n for 0 < n, Circle, Real.Angle...

Main definitions #

Notes #

There's an unsolved diamond on OrderDual α here. The instances LE α → Btw αᵒᵈ and LT α → SBtw αᵒᵈ can each be inferred in two ways:

TODO #

Antisymmetry is quite weak in the sense that there's no way to discriminate which two points are equal. This prevents defining closed-open intervals cIco and cIoc in the neat =-less way. We currently haven't defined them at all.

What is the correct generality of "rolling the necklace" open? At least, this works for α × β and β × α where α is a circular order and β is a linear order.

What's next is to define circular groups and provide instances for ZMod n, the usual circle group Circle, and RootsOfUnity M. What conditions do we need on M for this last one to work?

We should have circular order homomorphisms. The typical example is days_to_month : days_of_the_year →c months_of_the_year which relates the circular order of days and the circular order of months. Is α →c β a good notation?

class Btw (α : Type u_1) :
Type u_1
  • btw : αααProp

    Betweenness for circular orders. btw a b c states that b is between a and c (in that order).

Syntax typeclass for a betweenness relation.

Instances
    class SBtw (α : Type u_1) :
    Type u_1
    • sbtw : αααProp

      Strict betweenness for circular orders. sbtw a b c states that b is strictly between a and c (in that order).

    Syntax typeclass for a strict betweenness relation.

    Instances
      class CircularPreorder (α : Type u_1) extends Btw , SBtw :
      Type u_1
      • btw : αααProp
      • sbtw : αααProp
      • btw_refl : ∀ (a : α), btw a a a

        a is between a and a.

      • btw_cyclic_left : ∀ {a b c : α}, btw a b cbtw b c a

        If b is between a and c, then c is between b and a. This is motivated by imagining three points on a circle.

      • sbtw_iff_btw_not_btw : ∀ {a b c : α}, sbtw a b c btw a b c ¬btw c b a

        Strict betweenness is given by betweenness in one direction and non-betweenness in the other.

        I.e., if b is between a and c but not between c and a, then we say b is strictly between a and c.

      • sbtw_trans_left : ∀ {a b c d : α}, sbtw a b csbtw b d csbtw a d c

        For any fixed c, fun a b ↦ sbtw a b c is a transitive relation.

        I.e., given a b d c in that "order", if we have b strictly between a and c, and d strictly between b and c, then d is strictly between a and c.

      A circular preorder is the analogue of a preorder where you can loop around. and < are replaced by ternary relations btw and sbtw. btw is reflexive and cyclic. sbtw is transitive.

      Instances
        class CircularPartialOrder (α : Type u_1) extends CircularPreorder :
        Type u_1
        • btw : αααProp
        • sbtw : αααProp
        • btw_refl : ∀ (a : α), btw a a a
        • btw_cyclic_left : ∀ {a b c : α}, btw a b cbtw b c a
        • sbtw_iff_btw_not_btw : ∀ {a b c : α}, sbtw a b c btw a b c ¬btw c b a
        • sbtw_trans_left : ∀ {a b c d : α}, sbtw a b csbtw b d csbtw a d c
        • btw_antisymm : ∀ {a b c : α}, btw a b cbtw c b aa = b b = c c = a

          If b is between a and c and also between c and a, then at least one pair of points among a, b, c are identical.

        A circular partial order is the analogue of a partial order where you can loop around. and < are replaced by ternary relations btw and sbtw. btw is reflexive, cyclic and antisymmetric. sbtw is transitive.

        Instances
          class CircularOrder (α : Type u_1) extends CircularPartialOrder :
          Type u_1
          • btw : αααProp
          • sbtw : αααProp
          • btw_refl : ∀ (a : α), btw a a a
          • btw_cyclic_left : ∀ {a b c : α}, btw a b cbtw b c a
          • sbtw_iff_btw_not_btw : ∀ {a b c : α}, sbtw a b c btw a b c ¬btw c b a
          • sbtw_trans_left : ∀ {a b c d : α}, sbtw a b csbtw b d csbtw a d c
          • btw_antisymm : ∀ {a b c : α}, btw a b cbtw c b aa = b b = c c = a
          • btw_total : ∀ (a b c : α), btw a b c btw c b a

            For any triple of points, the second is between the other two one way or another.

          A circular order is the analogue of a linear order where you can loop around. and < are replaced by ternary relations btw and sbtw. btw is reflexive, cyclic, antisymmetric and total. sbtw is transitive.
