Partial values of a type #
This file defines Part α
, the partial values of a type.
o : Part α
carries a proposition o.Dom
, its domain, along with a function get : o.Dom → α
, its
value. The rule is then that every partial value has a value but, to access it, you need to provide
a proof of the domain.
Part α
behaves the same as Option α
except that o : Option α
is decidably none
or some a
for some a : α
, while the domain of o : Part α
doesn't have to be decidable. That means you can
translate back and forth between a partial value with a decidable domain and an option, and
Option α
and Part α
are classically equivalent. In general, Part α
is bigger than Option α
.
In current mathlib, Part ℕ
, aka PartENat
, is used to move decidability of the order to
decidability of PartENat.find
(which is the smallest natural satisfying a predicate, or ∞
if
there's none).
Main declarations #
Option
-like declarations:
Part.none
: The partial value whose domain isFalse
.Part.some a
: The partial value whose domain isTrue
and whose value isa
.Part.ofOption
: Converts anOption α
to aPart α
by sendingnone
tonone
andsome a
tosome a
.Part.toOption
: Converts aPart α
with a decidable domain to anOption α
.Part.equivOption
: Classical equivalence betweenPart α
andOption α
. Monadic structure:Part.bind
:o.bind f
has value(f (o.get _)).get _
(f o
morally) and is defined wheno
andf (o.get _)
are defined.Part.map
: Maps the value and keeps the same domain. Other:Part.restrict
:Part.restrict p o
replaces the domain ofo : Part α
byp : Prop
so long asp → o.Dom
.Part.assert
:assert p f
appendsp
to the domains of the values of a partial function.Part.unwrap
: Gets the value of a partial value regardless of its domain. Unsound.
Notation #
For a : α
, o : Part α
, a ∈ o
means that o
is defined and equal to a
. Formally, it means
o.Dom
and o.get _ = a
.

Equations
Retrieves the value of a : Part α
if it exists, and return the provided default value
otherwise.
Equations
- Part.getOrElse a d = if ha : a.Dom then Part.get a ha else d

Equations

assert p f
is a bind-like operation which appends an additional condition
p
to the domain and uses f
to produce the value.
Equations
- Part.assert p f = { Dom := ∃ h, (f h).Dom, get := fun ha => Part.get (f (Part.assert.proof_1 p f ha)) (_ : (f (Exists.fst ha)).Dom) }
Instances For
restrict p o h
replaces the domain of o
with p
, and is well defined when
p
implies o
is defined.
Equations
- Part.restrict p o H = { Dom := p, get := fun h => Part.get o (H h) }
Instances For
unwrap o
gets the value at o
, ignoring the condition. This function is unsound.
Equations
- Part.unwrap o = Part.get o (_ : o.Dom)
Instances For
We define several instances for constants and operations on Part α
inherited from α
.
