(Generalized) Boolean algebras #

A Boolean algebra is a bounded distributive lattice with a complement operator. Boolean algebras generalize the (classical) logic of propositions and the lattice of subsets of a set.

Generalized Boolean algebras may be less familiar, but they are essentially Boolean algebras which do not necessarily have a top element () (and hence not all elements may have complements). One example in mathlib is Finset α, the type of all finite subsets of an arbitrary (not-necessarily-finite) type α.

GeneralizedBooleanAlgebra α is defined to be a distributive lattice with bottom () admitting a relative complement operator, written using "set difference" notation as x \ y (sdiff x y). For convenience, the BooleanAlgebra type class is defined to extend GeneralizedBooleanAlgebra so that it is also bundled with a \ operator.

(A terminological point: x \ y is the complement of y relative to the interval [⊥, x]. We do not yet have relative complements for arbitrary intervals, as we do not even have lattice intervals.)

Implementation notes #

The sup_inf_sdiff and inf_inf_sdiff axioms for the relative complement operator in GeneralizedBooleanAlgebra are taken from Wikipedia.

[Stone's paper introducing generalized Boolean algebras][Stone1935] does not define a relative complement operator a \ b for all a, b. Instead, the postulates there amount to an assumption that for all a, b : α where a ≤ b, the equations x ⊔ a = b and x ⊓ a = ⊥ have a solution x. Disjoint.sdiff_unique proves that this x is in fact b \ a.

class GeneralizedBooleanAlgebra (α : Type u) extends DistribLattice α, SDiff α, Bot α :

A generalized Boolean algebra is a distributive lattice with and a relative complement operation \ (called sdiff, after "set difference") satisfying (a ⊓ b) ⊔ (a \ b) = a and (a ⊓ b) ⊓ (a \ b) = ⊥, i.e. a \ b is the complement of b in a.

This is a generalization of Boolean algebras which applies to Finset α for arbitrary (not-necessarily-Fintype) α.

    Boolean algebras #

    class BooleanAlgebra (α : Type u) extends DistribLattice α, HasCompl α, SDiff α, HImp α, Top α, Bot α :

    A Boolean algebra is a bounded distributive lattice with a complement operator such that x ⊓ xᶜ = ⊥ and x ⊔ xᶜ = ⊤. For convenience, it must also provide a set difference operation \ and a Heyting implication satisfying x \ y = x ⊓ yᶜ and x ⇨ y = y ⊔ xᶜ.

    This is a generalization of (classical) logic of propositions, or the powerset lattice.

    Since BoundedOrder, OrderBot, and OrderTop are mixins that require LE to be present at define-time, the extends mechanism does not work with them. Instead, we extend using the underlying Bot and Top data typeclasses, and replicate the order axioms of those classes here. A "forgetful" instance back to BoundedOrder is provided.
