Topic: Inf on ordinal


Sebastien Gouezel (Jul 17 2021 at 20:09):

I can't find an has_Inf instance on ordinal.{u}. Is there already a canonical way to talk of the smallest ordinal in a set of ordinals (which makes sense as this is well ordered)? @Mario Carneiro , maybe.

Mario Carneiro (Jul 18 2021 at 02:25):

@Sebastien Gouezel There is an indexed min function, but it's not an instance of anything

Mario Carneiro (Jul 18 2021 at 02:26):

see docs#ordinal.min and docs#ordinal.omin

Mario Carneiro (Jul 18 2021 at 02:28):

I guess omin could be a has_Inf instance

Sebastien Gouezel (Jul 18 2021 at 06:51):

Thanks. I'll build a conditionally_complete_linear_order instance with that.
