Order-connected sets #
We say that a set s : Set α
is OrdConnected
if for all x y ∈ s
it includes the
interval [[x, y]]
. If α
is a DenselyOrdered
ConditionallyCompleteLinearOrder
with
the OrderTopology
, then this condition is equivalent to IsPreconnected s
. If α
is a
LinearOrderedField
, then this condition is also equivalent to Convex α s
.
In this file we prove that intersection of a family of OrdConnected
sets is OrdConnected
and
that all standard intervals are OrdConnected
.
It suffices to prove [[x, y]] ⊆ s
for x y ∈ s
, x ≤ y
.
In a dense order α
, the subtype from an OrdConnected
set is also densely ordered.
The preimage of an OrdConnected
set under a map which is monotone on a set t
,
when intersected with t
, is OrdConnected
. More precisely, it is the intersection with t
of an OrdConnected
set.
The preimage of an OrdConnected
set under a map which is antitone on a set t
,
when intersected with t
, is OrdConnected
. More precisely, it is the intersection with t
of an OrdConnected
set.
