Transitive_Closure.thy defines

inductive_set
trancl :: "('a × 'a) set => ('a × 'a) set" ("(_^+)" [1000] 999)
for r :: "('a × 'a) set"
where
r_into_trancl [intro, Pure.intro]: "(a, b) : r ==> (a, b) : r^+"
| trancl_into_trancl [Pure.intro]: "(a, b) : r^+ ==>
(b, c) : r ==> (a, c) : r^+"

but this doesn't seem to work right with new style relations, e.g.

term "(less :: nat => nat => bool)^+"

produces a type error. Is there a transitive closure operator for new
style relations?

Thanks,
Randy

The type is not correct -- you need st of type 'a * 'a set. You need to
uncurry "less".

trancl (split less) should work.

Yes. The curried versions of these predicates are "tranclp", "rtranclp"
etc. Syntax: "^++", "^**"
