Topic: maximal/minimal elements
Floris van Doorn (May 16 2019 at 22:20):
Does the definition of maximal/minimal elements in a preorder exist in mathlib?
In order.bounds
least/greatest elements are defined, but I cannot find maximal/minimal elements.
Recall that x
is a maximal element of a set s
if x
is in s
and no y
in s
satisfies y > x
.

This definition could also be used to define ideal.is_maximal
