Absolute values in ordered groups #
The absolute value of an element in a group which is also a lattice is its supremum with its
negation. This generalizes the usual absolute value on real numbers (|x| = max x (-x)).
Notation #
|a|: The absolute value of an elementaof an additive lattice ordered group|a|ₘ: The absolute value of an elementaof a multiplicative lattice ordered group
mabs a, denoted |a|ₘ, is the absolute value of a.
Instances For
abs a, denoted |a|, is the absolute value of a
Instances For
Unexpander for the notation |a|ₘ for mabs a.
Tries to add discretionary parentheses in unparsable cases.

The absolute value satisfies the triangle inequality.
The absolute value satisfies the triangle inequality.
A set s in a lattice ordered group is solid if for all x ∈ s and all y ∈ α such that
|y| ≤ |x|, then y ∈ s.
Instances For
The solid closure of a subset s is the smallest superset of s that is solid.
