Club sets #
A subset of a well-ordered type α is called a club set when it is closed in the order topology and
cofinal. If α has no maximum, then an equivalent condition is that α is closed and unbounded;
hence the name.
Implementation notes #
To avoid importing topology in the ordinals, we spell out the closure property using DirSupClosed.
For any type equipped with the Scott-Hausdorff topology (which includes well-orders with the order
topology), DirSupClosed s and IsClosed s are equivalent predicates.
A club set is closed under suprema and cofinal.
- dirSupClosed : DirSupClosed s
Club sets are closed under suprema. If
αis a well-order with the order topology, this condition is equivalent toIsClosed s. - isCofinal : IsCofinal s
Club sets are cofinal. If
αhas no maximum, this condition is equivalent to¬ BddAbove s. Seenot_bddAbove_iff_isCofinal.
