Well-founded sets

A well-founded subset of an ordered type is one on which the relation < is well-founded.

Main Definitions

• Set.WellFoundedOn s r indicates that the relation r is well-founded when restricted to the set s.
• Set.IsWF s indicates that < is well-founded when restricted to s.
• Set.PartiallyWellOrderedOn s r indicates that the relation r is partially well-ordered (also known as well quasi-ordered) when restricted to the set s.
• Set.IsPWO s indicates that any infinite sequence of elements in s contains an infinite monotone subsequence. Note that this is equivalent to containing only two comparable elements.

Main Results

• Higman's Lemma, Set.PartiallyWellOrderedOn.partiallyWellOrderedOn_sublistForall₂, shows that if r is partially well-ordered on s, then List.SublistForall₂ is partially well-ordered on the set of lists of elements of s. The result was originally published by Higman, but this proof more closely follows Nash-Williams.
• Set.wellFoundedOn_iff relates well_founded_on to the well-foundedness of a relation on the original type, to avoid dealing with subtypes.
• Set.IsWF.mono shows that a subset of a well-founded subset is well-founded.
• Set.IsWF.union shows that the union of two well-founded subsets is well-founded.
• Finset.isWF shows that all Finsets are well-founded.

TODO

Prove that s is partial well ordered iff it has no infinite descending chain or antichain.

Partially well-ordered sets

A set is partially well-ordered by a relation r when any infinite sequence contains two elements where the first is related to the second by r. Equivalently, any antichain (see IsAntichain) is finite, see Set.partiallyWellOrderedOn_iff_finite_antichains.

A version of Dickson's lemma any subset of functions Π s : σ, α s is partially well ordered, when σ is a Fintype and each α s is a linear well order. This includes the classical case of Dickson's lemma that ℕ ^ n is a well partial order. Some generalizations would be possible based on this proof, to include cases where the target is partially well ordered, and also to consider the case of Set.PartiallyWellOrderedOn instead of Set.IsPWO.

Stronger version of WellFounded.prod_lex. Instead of requiring rβ on g to be well-founded, we only require it to be well-founded on fibers of f.
