Stream: Is there code for X?

Topic: Is there a function already defined for this?


Ching-Tsun Chou (Sep 16 2025 at 00:52):

Given f : ℕ → ℕ (where we may assume ∀ n, f n > 0) and k : ℕ, I wish to find the largest n : ℕ such that:

( i < n, f i)  k

Is such a function already defined in mathlib?

(Yes, I do know about Nat.findGreatest. I'm just wondering whether theorems about the specific function above already exist in mathlib.)

What this function should return when k < f 0?

Ching-Tsun Chou (Sep 16 2025 at 03:14):

Sorry, I made a typo: the range of the summation should be i < n. I've corrected the inequality above.

I don't think we have anything about this specific instantiation of Nat.findGreatest, no

Ching-Tsun Chou (Sep 16 2025 at 17:12):

Thanks for the info.
