Hi, I have the following assertion: given that a: σ and S: Set σ, and i wish to prove that: a ∈ S ∩ {s | a = s} ↔ a ∈ S. How do i do this?

Ruben Van de Velde (Feb 05 2024 at 15:14):

Probably start with a lemma that will be called something like docs#Set.mem_inter

Ruben Van de Velde (Feb 05 2024 at 15:15):

No, I was thinking of docs#Set.mem_inter_iff

Kamila Szewczyk (Feb 05 2024 at 15:20):

Thanks, exactly what i was looking for!

Does simp close the goal? This looks like something the simplifier could do
