Monotonicity #
This file defines (strictly) monotone/antitone functions. Contrary to standard mathematical usage, "monotone"/"mono" here means "increasing", not "increasing or decreasing". We use "antitone"/"anti" to mean "decreasing".
Definitions #
Monotone f: A functionfbetween two preorders is monotone ifa ≤ bimpliesf a ≤ f b.Antitone f: A functionfbetween two preorders is antitone ifa ≤ bimpliesf b ≤ f a.MonotoneOn f s: Same asMonotone f, but for alla, b ∈ s.AntitoneOn f s: Same asAntitone f, but for alla, b ∈ s.StrictMono f: A functionfbetween two preorders is strictly monotone ifa < bimpliesf a < f b.StrictAnti f: A functionfbetween two preorders is strictly antitone ifa < bimpliesf b < f a.StrictMonoOn f s: Same asStrictMono f, but for alla, b ∈ s.StrictAntiOn f s: Same asStrictAnti f, but for alla, b ∈ s.
Implementation notes #
Some of these definitions used to only require LE α or LT α. The advantage of this is
unclear and it led to slight elaboration issues. Now, everything requires Preorder α and seems to
work fine. Related Zulip discussion:

σ is stable for f if it breaks ties by increasing index: among elements with equal
f-value, σ preserves their order. This property does not use the order on the codomain of f,
only its equality, so it is unchanged by reversing that order.

These four lemmas are there to strip off the semi-implicit arguments ⦃a b : α⦄. This is useful
when you do not want to apply a Monotone assumption (i.e. your goal is a ≤ b → f a ≤ f b).
However if you find yourself writing hf.imp h, then you should have written hf h instead.
