A Generic construction of min and max

First, an interface for types with max and/or min


Module Type HasMax (Import E:EqLe').
 Parameter Inline max : t -> t -> t.
 Parameter max_l : forall x y, y<=x -> max x y == x.
 Parameter max_r : forall x y, x<=y -> max x y == y.
End HasMax.

Module Type HasMin (Import E:EqLe').
 Parameter Inline min : t -> t -> t.
 Parameter min_l : forall x y, x<=y -> min x y == x.
 Parameter min_r : forall x y, y<=x -> min x y == y.
End HasMin.

Module Type HasMinMax (E:EqLe) := HasMax E <+ HasMin E.

Any OrderedTypeFull can be equipped by max and min

based on the compare function.

Definition gmax {A} (cmp : A->A->comparison) x y :=
 match cmp x y with Lt => y | _ => x end.
Definition gmin {A} (cmp : A->A->comparison) x y :=
 match cmp x y with Gt => y | _ => x end.

Module GenericMinMax (Import O:OrderedTypeFull') <: HasMinMax O.

 Definition max := gmax O.compare.
 Definition min := gmin O.compare.

 Lemma ge_not_lt x y : y<=x -> x<y -> False.

 Lemma max_l x y : y<=x -> max x y == x.

 Lemma max_r x y : x<=y -> max x y == y.

 Lemma min_l x y : x<=y -> min x y == x.

 Lemma min_r x y : y<=x -> min x y == y.

End GenericMinMax.

Consequences of the minimalist interface: facts about max and min.

An alternative characterisation of max, equivalent to max_l /\ max_r

Lemma max_spec n m :
  (n < m /\ max n m == m) \/ (m <= n /\ max n m == n).

A more symmetric version of max_spec, based only on le. Beware that left and right alternatives overlap.

Lemma max_spec_le n m :
 (n <= m /\ max n m == m) \/ (m <= n /\ max n m == n).

#[global]
Instance : Proper (eq==>eq==>iff) le.

#[global]
Instance max_compat : Proper (eq==>eq==>eq) max.

A function satisfying the same specification is equal to max.

Lemma max_unicity n m p :
 ((n < m /\ p == m) \/ (m <= n /\ p == n)) -> p == max n m.

Lemma max_unicity_ext f :
 (forall n m, (n < m /\ f n m == m) \/ (m <= n /\ f n m == n)) ->
 (forall n m, f n m == max n m).

max commutes with monotone functions.

 (Proper (eq ==> eq) f) ->
 (Proper (le ==> le) f) ->
 forall x y, max (f x) (f y) == f (max x y).

TODO: Some Remaining questions... --> Compare with a type-classes version ? --> Is max_unicity and max_unicity_ext really convenient to express that any possible definition of max will in fact be equivalent ? --> Is it possible to avoid copy-paste about min even more ?
