Harris-Kleitman inequality #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This file proves the Harris-Kleitman inequality. This relates 𝒜.card * ℬ.card
and
2 ^ card α * (𝒜 ∩ ℬ).card
where 𝒜
and ℬ
are upward- or downcard-closed finite families of
finsets. This can be interpreted as saying that any two lower sets (resp. any two upper sets)
correlate in the uniform measure.
