Function types of a given arity

This provides Function.OfArity, such that OfArity α β 2 = α → α → β. Note that it is often preferable to use (Fin n → α) → β in place of OfArity n α β.

Main definitions

• Function.OfArity α β n: n-ary function α → α → ... → β. Defined inductively.
• Function.OfArity.const α b n: n-ary constant function equal to b.

abbrev Function.OfArity (α β : Type u) (n : ℕ) : Type u

The type of n-ary functions α → α → ... → β.

Note that this is not universe polymorphic, as this would require that when n=0 we produce either Unit → β or ULift β.

theorem Function.ofArity_zero (α β : Type u) : OfArity α β 0 = β

theorem Function.ofArity_succ (α β : Type u) (n : ℕ) : OfArity α β n.succ = (α → OfArity α β n)

def Function.OfArity.const (α : Type u) {β : Type u} (b : β) (n : ℕ) : OfArity α β n

Constant n-ary function with value b.

theorem Function.OfArity.const_succ (α : Type u) {β : Type u} (b : β) (n : ℕ) : const α b n.succ = fun (x : Matrix.vecHead fun (x : Fin n.succ) => α) => const α b n

theorem Function.OfArity.const_succ_apply (α : Type u) {β : Type u} (b : β) (n : ℕ) (x : α) : const α b n.succ x = const α b n

instance Function.OfArity.inhabited {α β : Type u_1} {n : ℕ} [Inhabited β] : Inhabited (OfArity α β n)

theorem Function.FromTypes.fromTypes_fin_const (α β : Type u) (n : ℕ) : FromTypes (fun (x : Fin n) => α) β = OfArity α β n

def Function.FromTypes.fromTypes_fin_const_equiv (α β : Type u) (n : ℕ) : FromTypes (fun (x : Fin n) => α) β ≃ OfArity α β n

The definitional equality between heterogeneous functions with constant domain and n-ary functions with that domain.
