We allow to unfold the relation definition while doing morphism search.

Section Defs.
  Context {A : Type}.

We rebind relational properties in separate classes to be able to overload each proof.

  Class Reflexive (R : relation A) :=
    reflexivity : forall x : A, R x x.

  Definition complement (R : relation A) : relation A := fun x y => R x y -> False.

Opaque for proof-search.
  Typeclasses Opaque complement.

These are convertible.
  Lemma complement_inverse R : complement (flip R) = flip (complement R).

  Class Irreflexive (R : relation A) :=
    irreflexivity : Reflexive (complement R).

  Class Symmetric (R : relation A) :=
    symmetry : forall {x y}, R x y -> R y x.

  Class Asymmetric (R : relation A) :=
    asymmetry : forall {x y}, R x y -> R y x -> False.

  Class Transitive (R : relation A) :=
    transitivity : forall {x y z}, R x y -> R y z -> R x z.

Various combinations of reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity.
A PreOrder is both Reflexive and Transitive.

  Class PreOrder (R : relation A) : Prop := {
    #[global] PreOrder_Reflexive :: Reflexive R | 2 ;
    #[global] PreOrder_Transitive :: Transitive R | 2 }.

A StrictOrder is both Irreflexive and Transitive.

  Class StrictOrder (R : relation A) : Prop := {
    #[global] StrictOrder_Irreflexive :: Irreflexive R ;
    #[global] StrictOrder_Transitive :: Transitive R }.

By definition, a strict order is also asymmetric
  Global Instance StrictOrder_Asymmetric `(StrictOrder R) : Asymmetric R.

A partial equivalence relation is Symmetric and Transitive.

  Class PER (R : relation A) : Prop := {
    #[global] PER_Symmetric :: Symmetric R | 3 ;
    #[global] PER_Transitive :: Transitive R | 3 }.

Equivalence relations.

  Class Equivalence (R : relation A) : Prop := {
    #[global] Equivalence_Reflexive :: Reflexive R ;
    #[global] Equivalence_Symmetric :: Symmetric R ;
    #[global] Equivalence_Transitive :: Transitive R }.

An Equivalence is a PER plus reflexivity.

  Global Instance Equivalence_PER {R} `(E:Equivalence R) : PER R | 10 :=
    { }.

An Equivalence is a PreOrder plus symmetry.

  Global Instance Equivalence_PreOrder {R} `(E:Equivalence R) : PreOrder R | 10 :=
    { }.

We can now define antisymmetry w.r.t. an equivalence relation on the carrier.

  Class Antisymmetric eqA `{equ : Equivalence eqA} (R : relation A) :=
    antisymmetry : forall {x y}, R x y -> R y x -> eqA x y.

  Class subrelation (R R' : relation A) : Prop :=
    is_subrelation : forall {x y}, R x y -> R' x y.

Any symmetric relation is equal to its inverse.

  Lemma subrelation_symmetric R `(Symmetric R) : subrelation (flip R) R.

  Section flip.

    Lemma flip_Reflexive `{Reflexive R} : Reflexive (flip R).

    Program Definition flip_Irreflexive `(Irreflexive R) : Irreflexive (flip R) :=
      irreflexivity (R:=R).

    Program Definition flip_Symmetric `(Symmetric R) : Symmetric (flip R) :=
      fun x y H => symmetry (R:=R) H.

    Program Definition flip_Transitive `(Transitive R) : Transitive (flip R) :=
      fun x y z H H' => transitivity (R:=R) H' H.

    Program Definition flip_Antisymmetric `(Antisymmetric eqA R) :
      Antisymmetric eqA (flip R).

    Lemma flip_PER `(PER R) : PER (flip R).

    Lemma flip_Equivalence `(Equivalence R) : Equivalence (flip R).

  End flip.

Rewrite relation on a given support: declares a relation as a rewrite relation for use by the generalized rewriting tactic. It helps choosing if a rewrite should be handled by the generalized or the regular rewriting tactic using leibniz equality. Users can declare an RewriteRelation A RA anywhere to declare default relations on a given type `A`. This is also done automatically by the Declare Relation A RA commands. It has no mode declaration: it will assign `?A := Prop, ?R := iff` on an entirely unspecified query `RewriteRelation ?A ?R`, or any prefered rewrite relation of priority < 2.

  Class RewriteRelation (RA : relation A).

Leibniz equality.
  Section Leibniz.
    Global Instance eq_Reflexive : Reflexive (@eq A) := @eq_refl A.
    Global Instance eq_Symmetric : Symmetric (@eq A) := @eq_sym A.
    Global Instance eq_Transitive : Transitive (@eq A) := @eq_trans A.

Leibinz equality eq is an equivalence relation. The instance has low priority as it is always applicable if only the type is constrained.

    Global Program Instance eq_equivalence : Equivalence (@eq A) | 10.
  End Leibniz.

Disequality is symmetric.

Any Equivalence declared in the context is automatically considered a rewrite relation. This only applies if the relation is at least partially defined: setoid_rewrite won't try to infer arbitrary user rewrite relations.

We now develop a generalization of results on relations for arbitrary predicates. The resulting theory can be applied to homogeneous binary relations but also to arbitrary n-ary predicates.

Local Open Scope list_scope.

A compact representation of non-dependent arities, with the codomain singled-out.

Inductive Tlist : Type := Tnil : Tlist | Tcons : Type -> Tlist -> Tlist.

  match l with
    | Tnil => r
    | A :: l' => A -> arrows l' r
  end.

We can define abbreviations for operation and relation types based on arrows.
We define n-ary predicates as functions into Prop.

Notation predicate l := (arrows l Prop).

Unary predicates, or sets.

Definition unary_predicate A := predicate (A::Tnil).

Homogeneous binary relations, equivalent to relation A.
We can close a predicate by universal or existential quantification.

Fixpoint predicate_all (l : Tlist) : predicate l -> Prop :=

    | Tnil => fun f => f
    | A :: tl => fun f => forall x : A, predicate_all tl (f x)
  end.

  match l with
    | Tnil => fun f => f
    | A :: tl => fun f => exists x : A, predicate_exists tl (f x)
  end.

Pointwise extension of a binary operation on T to a binary operation on functions whose codomain is T. For an operator on Prop this lifts the operator to a binary operation.

Fixpoint pointwise_extension {T : Type} (op : binary_operation T)
  (l : Tlist) : binary_operation (arrows l T) :=
  match l with
    | Tnil => fun R R' => op R R'
    | A :: tl => fun R R' =>
      fun x => pointwise_extension op tl (R x) (R' x)
  end.

Pointwise lifting, equivalent to doing pointwise_extension and closing using predicate_all.

Fixpoint pointwise_lifting (op : binary_relation Prop) (l : Tlist) : binary_relation (predicate l) :=
  match l with
    | Tnil => fun R R' => op R R'
    | A :: tl => fun R R' =>
      forall x, pointwise_lifting op tl (R x) (R' x)
  end.

The always True and always False predicates.

    | A :: tl => fun _ => @true_predicate tl
  end.

Fixpoint false_predicate {l : Tlist} : predicate l :=

    | A :: tl => fun _ => @false_predicate tl
  end.

Predicate equivalence is an equivalence, and predicate implication defines a preorder.

Relation equivalence is an equivalence, and subrelation defines a partial order.

Partial Order.

A partial order is a preorder which is additionally antisymmetric. We give an equivalent definition, up-to an equivalence relation on the carrier.
The equivalence proof is sufficient for proving that R must be a morphism for equivalence (see Morphisms). It is also sufficient to show that R is antisymmetric w.r.t. eqA
