Topic: simp without unpacking my own definitions
Connor Gordon (Feb 08 2024 at 15:43):
I've been working on a proof that requires me to define a function B₀
, and then I proved a convenience lemma about B₀
so I can use its properties without having to refer to its definition down the line. I'm now trying to use it to prove something else, and I've narrowed my goal down to something that should be fairly easy to do with simp
and a little extra. In particular I have in the context
hx: x ∈ ⋃ (C : Set α) (_ : C ∈ F ∪ {V n, W n}), B₀ n C
⊢ x ∈ ⋃ (C : Set α) (_ : C ∈ F ∪ {V n, W n}), (fun C => ⋃ (n : ℕ), B₀ n C) C
I would like to use simp
to simplify what it means to be in this union and also the fun C => blah
to simply ⋃ (n : ℕ), B₀ n C
, but whenever I do so, it also unpacks the definition of B₀
, making things borderline unreadable. Is there any way to use simp
that won't unpack the definition of B₀
?
For convenience, here's a MWE in Lem1.lean, with the relevant sorry identified.
