Omega ordinals #

An ordinal is initial when it is the first ordinal with a given cardinality.

This is written as o.card.ord = o, i.e. o is the smallest ordinal with cardinality o.card.

Equations
  • o.IsInitial = (o.card.ord = o)
Instances For
    theorem Ordinal.IsInitial.ord_card {o : Ordinal.{u_1}} (h : o.IsInitial) :
    o.card.ord = o
    theorem Ordinal.IsInitial.card_le_card {a b : Ordinal.{u_1}} (ha : a.IsInitial) :
    a.card b.card a b
    theorem Ordinal.IsInitial.card_lt_card {a b : Ordinal.{u_1}} (hb : b.IsInitial) :
    a.card < b.card a < b
    theorem Ordinal.isInitial_ord (c : Cardinal.{u_1}) :
    c.ord.IsInitial
    theorem Ordinal.isInitial_natCast (n : ) :
    (↑n).IsInitial

    Initial ordinals are order-isomorphic to the cardinals.

      The "pre-omega" function gives the initial ordinals listed by their ordinal index. preOmega n = n, preOmega ω = ω, preOmega (ω + 1) = ω₁, etc.

      For the more common omega function skipping over finite ordinals, see Ordinal.omega.

                        The aleph' index function, which gives the ordinal index of a cardinal. (The aleph' part is because unlike aleph this counts also the finite stages. So alephIdx n = n, alephIdx ω = ω, alephIdx ℵ₁ = ω + 1 and so on.) In this definition, we register additionally that this function is an initial segment, i.e., it is order preserving and its range is an initial segment of the ordinals.
