Predicates on types

We use the words "predicate" and "(type) family" interchangably to mean something of type A → Type.

Predicate equality

Two predicates are considered "equal" if they are pointwise logically equivalent: ∀ a, P a ↔ Q a. We express this with relation_pointwise to ease typeclass search.
Definition pred_eq {A : Type} := relation_pointwise (fun _ : A ⇒ iff).

It follows from reflexive_pointwise, transitive_pointwise and symmetric_pointwise that pred_eq is reflexive, transitive and symmetric.

Subsets of a predicate

A predicate P is a "subset" of a predicate Q if ∀ a, P a → Q a.
Definition pred_subset {A : Type} := relation_pointwise (fun (_ : A) ⇒ (->)).

Predicate Notations


Declare Scope predicate_scope.
Local Open Scope predicate_scope.

Infix "⊆" := pred_subset : predicate_scope.
Infix "↔" := pred_eq : predicate_scope.

Properties of subsets

It follows from reflexive_pointwise and transitive_pointwise that pred_subset is reflexive and transitive.

Coercion pred_subset_pred_eq {A : Type} (P Q : A → Type)
  : P ↔ Q → P ⊆ Q
  := fun p x ⇒ fst (p x).

Definition pred_subset_pred_eq' {A : Type} (P Q : A → Type)
  : P ↔ Q → Q ⊆ P
  := fun p x ⇒ snd (p x).

The subset relation is antisymmetric. Note that this isn't Antisymmetry as defined in Basics.Classes since we get a pred_eq rather than a path. Under being a hprop and univalance, we would get a path.
Definition pred_subset_antisymm {A : Type} {P Q : A → Type}
  : P ⊆ Q → Q ⊆ P → P ↔ Q.
Proof.
  intros p q x; specialize (p x); specialize (q x); by split.
Defined.

Definition pred_subset_precomp {A B : Type} {P Q : B → Type} (f : A → B)
  : P ⊆ Q → (P o f) ⊆ (Q o f)
  := pointwise_precomp _ f P Q.

Definition pred_subset_postcomp {A : Type} {P Q : A → Type}
  (F : Type → Type) (f : ∀ {X Y}, (X → Y) → F X → F Y) (p : P ⊆ Q)
  : (F o P) ⊆ (F o Q)
  := fun x ⇒ f (p x).

Definition pred_subset_moveL_equiv {A B : Type} {P : B → Type} {Q : A → Type}
  (f : B <~> A)
  : (P o f^-1) ⊆ Q → P ⊆ (Q o f)
  := pointwise_moveL_equiv _ f P Q.

Definition pred_subset_moveR_equiv {A B : Type} {P : B → Type} {Q : A → Type}
  (f : A <~> B)
  : P ⊆ (Q o f^-1) → (P o f) ⊆ Q
  := pointwise_moveR_equiv _ f P Q.
