denum: retracting various countable types into positives


Require Import common positives ordinal.
Set Implicit Arguments.

Sums


Definition mk_sum (x: positive+positive) :=
  match x with
    | inl pxO p
    | inr pxI p
  end.
Definition get_sum x :=
  match x with
    | xO pinl p
    | xI pinr p
    | _assert_false (inl xH)
  end.
Lemma get_mk_sum x: get_sum (mk_sum x) = x.
Proof. now destruct x. Qed.

Pairs


Fixpoint xpair y x :=
  match x with
    | xHxI (xO y)
    | xO xxO (xO (xpair y x))
    | xI xxI (xI (xpair y x))
  end.
Definition mk_pair (x: positive×positive) := xpair (snd x) (fst x).
Fixpoint get_pair x :=
  match x with
    | xI (xO p) ⇒ (xH,p)
    | xO (xO x) ⇒ let '(x,y) := get_pair x in (xO x,y)
    | xI (xI x) ⇒ let '(x,y) := get_pair x in (xI x,y)
    | _assert_false (xH,xH)
  end.
Lemma get_mk_pair x: get_pair (mk_pair x) = x.
Proof.
  destruct x as [x y]. unfold mk_pair. simpl.
  induction x; simpl; now rewrite ?IHx.
Qed.

Natural numbers

we use a much simpler function than the standard bijection, since we only need a retract
Definition mk_nat := nat_rec (fun _positive) xH (fun _xO).
Fixpoint get_nat x :=
  match x with
    | xHO
    | xO xS (get_nat x)
    | _assert_false O
  end.
Lemma get_mk_nat x: get_nat (mk_nat x) = x.
Proof. induction x; simpl; now rewrite ?IHx. Qed.

Ordinals


Definition mk_ord n (x: ord n) := mk_nat x.
get_ord returns an option since n could be 0, this is not problematic in practice
Definition get_ord n (x: positive): option (ord n).
 set (y:=get_nat x). case (lt_ge_dec y n).
 intro Hy. exact (Some (Ord y Hy)).
 intros _. exact None.
Defined.
Lemma get_mk_ord n x: get_ord n (mk_ord x) = Some x.
Proof.
  unfold mk_ord, get_ord. destruct x as [i Hi]; simpl.
  rewrite get_mk_nat. case lt_ge_dec.
  intro. f_equal. now apply eq_ord.
  rewrite Hi at 1. discriminate.
Qed.
