Dear friends, how do you usually express the largest integer or natural number that subjects to some condition?
With GREATEST x. P
; so you write, for example, GREATEST n :: nat. n < 1000
.
It should work with all types that are instances of ord
. I used it for relations, which are only partially ordered.
There's also Sup
and Max
and arg_max
. I would typically use Max
I think, but GREATEST
also works of course.
arg_max
unfortunately has a lot of missing lemmas so it is of limited use.
For what it's worth, I have (more or less copied) the lemmas in Lattices-Big.thy
for arg_max
(and primarily arg_max_on
) which are there for arg_min
(resp. arg_min_on
) here.
