data.sym2

The symmetric square #

This file defines the symmetric square, which is α × α modulo swapping. This is also known as the type of unordered pairs.

More generally, the symmetric square is the second symmetric power (see data.sym). The equivalence is sym2.equiv_sym.

From the point of view that an unordered pair is equivalent to a multiset of cardinality two (see sym2.equiv_multiset), there is a has_mem instance sym2.mem, which is a Prop-valued membership test. Given h : a ∈ z for z : sym2 α, then h.other is the other element of the pair, defined using classical.choice. If α has decidable equality, then h.other' computably gives the other element.

Recall that an undirected graph (allowing self loops, but no multiple edges) is equivalent to a symmetric relation on the vertex type α. Given a symmetric relation on α, the corresponding edge set is constructed by sym2.from_rel.

Notation #

The symmetric square has a setoid instance, so ⟦(a, b)⟧ denotes a term of the symmetric square.

inductive sym2.rel (α : Type u) :
α × α → α × α → Prop
  • refl : ∀ (α : Type u) (x y : α), sym2.rel α (x, y) (x, y)
  • swap : ∀ (α : Type u) (x y : α), sym2.rel α (x, y) (y, x)

This is the relation capturing the notion of pairs equivalent up to permutations.

sym2 α is the symmetric square of α, which, in other words, is the type of unordered pairs.

It is equivalent in a natural way to multisets of cardinality 2 (see sym2.equiv_multiset).

def sym2.map {α : Type u_1} {β : Type u_2} (f : α → β) :

This is a predicate that determines whether a given term is a member of a term of the symmetric square. From this point of view, the symmetric square is the subtype of cardinality-two multisets on α.
