Ordered scalar product

In this file we define

• OrderedSMul R M : an ordered additive commutative monoid M is an OrderedSMul over an OrderedSemiring R if the scalar product respects the order relation on the monoid and on the ring. There is a correspondence between this structure and convex cones, which is proven in Mathlib/Analysis/Convex/Cone.lean.

Implementation notes

• We choose to define OrderedSMul as a Prop-valued mixin, so that it can be used for actions, modules, and algebras (the axioms for an "ordered algebra" are exactly that the algebra is ordered as a module).
• To get ordered modules and ordered vector spaces, it suffices to replace the OrderedAddCommMonoid and the OrderedSemiring as desired.

TODO

This file is now mostly useless. We should try deleting OrderedSMul

class OrderedSMul (R : Type u_1) (M : Type u_2) [Semiring R] [PartialOrder R] [AddCommMonoid M] [PartialOrder M] [SMulWithZero R M] : Prop

The ordered scalar product property is when an ordered additive commutative monoid with a partial order has a scalar multiplication which is compatible with the order. Note that this is different from IsOrderedSMul, which uses ≤, has no semiring assumption, and has no positivity constraint on the defining conditions.

• smul_lt_smul_of_pos {a b : M} {c : R} : a < b → 0 < c → c • a < c • b

  Scalar multiplication by positive elements preserves the order.

• lt_of_smul_lt_smul_of_pos {a b : M} {c : R} : c • a < c • b → 0 < c → a < b

  If c • a < c • b for some positive c, then a < b.
