Topic: a list of functions

Does anyone know how to define a family of functions f_alpha and the supremum of this family of functions?

Pedro Sánchez Terraf (Sep 04 2023 at 20:47):

Tip: You can use double dollar $$f_\alpha$$ for LaTeX: fαf_\alpha.

A family of funcions {fr}r\{f_r\}_r is simply a function f : β→γ→γ' with two arguments, one for the parameter r : β and one for the domain of each frf_r=f r (if those domains do not depend on r, otherwise you need a dependent product).

For the case of γ and γ' being the reals, the pointwise sup of the family is written fun x => ⨆ (r : β), f r x (or λ x ↦ ⨆ (r : β), f r x).

I think ⨆ (r : β), f r also works, and the pointwise-ness is free (see docs#iSup_apply)?

Though you fell in the same trap as I did, the reals are not "complete" :wink:

Does that matter here?

Eric Wieser (Sep 04 2023 at 21:17):

Your code and my code are the same, and I think its fair to assume that the pointwise sup exists given it was asked for!

I did for me, in the meantime I was writing an example to check everything worked fine, and that thing surprised me. I also wasn't sure everything was entirely analogous between Complete and ConditionallyComplete

(concerning notation and the like, I mean)
