First, sqrt is non-negative

Lemma sqrt_spec_nonneg : forall b,
 b² < (S b -> 0 <= b.

Lemma sqrt_nonneg : forall a, 0<=a.

The spec of sqrt indeed determines it

Lemma sqrt_unique : forall a b, b² <= a < (S b -> a == b.

Hence sqrt is a morphism

Instance sqrt_wd : Proper (eq==>eq) sqrt.

An alternate specification

 a == (a + r /\ 0 <= r <= 2*a.

 a == b² + c -> a == b.

Sqrt is exact on squares

Sqrt is a monotone function (but not a strict one)

Lemma sqrt_le_mono : forall a b, a <= b -> a <= b.

No reverse result for <=, consider for instance √2 <= √1

Lemma sqrt_lt_cancel : forall a b, a < b -> a < b.

When left side is a square, we have an equivalence for <=

Sqrt and multiplication.
Due to rounding error, we don't have the usual √(a*b) = √a*√b but only lower and upper bounds.

Lemma sqrt_mul_below : forall a b, a * b <= √(a*b).

Lemma sqrt_mul_above : forall a b, 0<=a -> 0<=b -> √(a*b) < S (a) * S (b).

And we can't find better approximations in general.
  • The lower bound is exact for squares
  • Concerning the upper bound, for any c>0, take a=b=c²-1, then √(a*b) = c² -1 while S √a = S √b = c
Sqrt and successor :
  • the sqrt function climbs by at most 1 at a time
  • otherwise it stays at the same value
  • the +1 steps occur for squares

Lemma sqrt_succ_le : forall a, 0<=a -> √(S a) <= S (a).

Lemma sqrt_succ_or : forall a, 0<=a -> √(S a) == S (a) \/ √(S a) == a.

Lemma sqrt_eq_succ_iff_square : forall a, 0<=a ->
 (√(S a) == S (a) <-> exists b, 0<b /\ S a == b²).

Sqrt and addition

Lemma sqrt_add_le : forall a b, √(a+b) <= a + b.

convexity inequality for sqrt: sqrt of middle is above middle of square roots.

Lemma add_sqrt_le : forall a b, 0<=a -> 0<=b -> a + b <= √(2*(a+b)).
