Topic: is nonminimal number not trivially positive?


Stepan Holub (Mar 17 2025 at 11:05):

Is it not strange that exact? fails on the following :

example (k l : ) (h: ¬ k  l) : 0 < k

Aaron Liu (Mar 17 2025 at 11:11):

This doesn't match any existing theorem, so I'm not surprised that exact? fails on this one.

example (k l : Nat) (h : ¬k  l) : 0 < k := by
  apply Nat.zero_lt_of_lt
  exact Nat.lt_of_not_le h

Thanks.
What is the best way to find such a simple proof if exact fails?

If it's a linear arithmetic problem about nat and int, by omega

Kim Morrison (Mar 17 2025 at 12:28):

or try by hint
