Hi,

For a step of a proof I'm working on I'd like to use "∀j∈{a .. b}. ∀l∈{j
.. b}. G j ≤ G l" where G has derivative g ≥ 0. The standard way to
prove this is using the mean value theorem which already exists in the
MVA/Derivative theory.
Unfortunately the mvt is formulated for has_derivative and I have to use
G has_vector_derivative g rather than has_derivative as G is defined to
be (%y. LBINT x=a..y. g x) and using has_derivative leads to a type
error ereal/real_normed_vector.
Should I just go back and prove the MVT for has_vector_derivative or is
there an easier way around this?

Cheers,
Alex Hicks

Hi Alex,

The vector derivative is essentially the derivative, only that instead
of a linear function as derivative we only take a vector f' and the
linear function is the scalar multiplication with the vector f':

has_vector_derivative_def:
 (f has_vector_derivative f') F <-->
  (f has_derivative (λx. x *⇩R f')) F

So you should have no problem with using mvt.

But another problem could be that LBINT x=a..y. g x uses ereal for a
and y. Is there the case that a = -infty or b = +infty in your example?
If not just fix a b to be real. Then Isabelle will add the necessary
coercions to LBINT and you should be able to use has_vector_derivative:

G == (%y::real.  LBINT x=a..y. g x) 

Does this help?
