Shortlex ordering of lists.

Given a relation r on α, the shortlex order on List α is defined by L < M iff

• L.length < M.length
• L.length = M.length and L < M under the lexicographic ordering over r on lists

Main results

We show that if r is well-founded, so too is the shortlex order over r

def List.Shortlex {α : Type u_1} (r : α → α → Prop) : List α → List α → Prop

Given a relation r on α, the shortlex order on List α, for which [a0, ..., an] < [b0, ..., b_k] if n < k or n = k and [a0, ..., an] < [b0, ..., bk] under the lexicographic order induced by r.

theorem List.Shortlex.of_length_lt {α : Type u_1} {r : α → α → Prop} {s t : List α} (h : s.length < t.length) : Shortlex r s t

If a list s is shorter than a list t, then s is smaller than t under any shortlex order.

theorem List.Shortlex.of_lex {α : Type u_1} {r : α → α → Prop} {s t : List α} (len_eq : s.length = t.length) (h_lex : Lex r s t) : Shortlex r s t

If two lists s and t have the same length, s is smaller than t under the shortlex order over a relation r when s is smaller than t under the lexicographic order over r

theorem List.shortlex_def {α : Type u_1} {r : α → α → Prop} {s t : List α} : Shortlex r s t ↔ s.length < t.length ∨ s.length = t.length ∧ Lex r s t

theorem List.shortlex_iff_lex {α : Type u_1} {r : α → α → Prop} {s t : List α} (h : s.length = t.length) : Shortlex r s t ↔ Lex r s t

If two lists s and t have the same length, s is smaller than t under the shortlex order over a relation r exactly when s is smaller than t under the lexicographic order over r.

theorem List.shortlex_cons_iff {α : Type u_1} {r : α → α → Prop} [Std.Irrefl r] {a : α} {s t : List α} : Shortlex r (a :: s) (a :: t) ↔ Shortlex r s t

theorem List.Shortlex.of_cons {α : Type u_1} {r : α → α → Prop} [Std.Irrefl r] {a : α} {s t : List α} : Shortlex r (a :: s) (a :: t) → Shortlex r s t

Alias of the reverse direction of List.shortlex_cons_iff.
