Partial values of a type #
This file defines Part α, the partial values of a type.
o : Part α carries a proposition o.Dom, its domain, along with a function get : o.Dom → α, its
value. The rule is then that every partial value has a value but, to access it, you need to provide
a proof of the domain.
Part α behaves the same as Option α except that o : Option α is decidably none or some a
for some a : α, while the domain of o : Part α doesn't have to be decidable. That means you can
translate back and forth between a partial value with a decidable domain and an option, and
Option α and Part α are classically equivalent. In general, Part α is bigger than Option α.
In current mathlib, Part ℕ, aka PartENat, is used to move decidability of the order to
decidability of PartENat.find (which is the smallest natural satisfying a predicate, or ∞ if
there's none).
Main declarations #
Option-like declarations:
Part.none: The partial value whose domain isFalse.Part.some a: The partial value whose domain isTrueand whose value isa.Part.ofOption: Converts anOption αto aPart αby sendingnonetononeandsome atosome a.Part.toOption: Converts aPart αwith a decidable domain to anOption α.Part.equivOption: Classical equivalence betweenPart αandOption α. Monadic structure:Part.bind:o.bind fhas value(f (o.get _)).get _(f omorally) and is defined whenoandf (o.get _)are defined.Part.map: Maps the value and keeps the same domain. Other:Part.restrict:Part.restrict p oreplaces the domain ofo : Part αbyp : Propso long asp → o.Dom.Part.assert:assert p fappendspto the domains of the values of a partial function.Part.unwrap: Gets the value of a partial value regardless of its domain. Unsound.
Notation #
For a : α, o : Part α, a ∈ o means that o is defined and equal to a. Formally, it means
o.Dom and o.get _ = a.
Alias of Part.notMem_none.
unwrap o gets the value at o, ignoring the condition. This function is unsound.

We define several instances for constants and operations on Part α inherited from α.
