Hi again, It seems that my original question has a positive answer. I got a proof from Thomas Tuerk saying:
val BIGUNION_IMAGE_COUNT_IMP_UNIV = β’ βf g. (βn. BIGUNION (IMAGE g (count n)) = BIGUNION (IMAGE f (count n))) β (BIGUNION (IMAGE f π(:num)) = BIGUNION (IMAGE g π(:num))) thatβs amazing... βChun (* provided by Thomas Tuerk, amazing! *) val BIGUNION_IMAGE_COUNT_IMP_UNIV = store_thm ("BIGUNION_IMAGE_COUNT_IMP_UNIV", ``!f g. (!n. BIGUNION (IMAGE g (count n)) = BIGUNION (IMAGE f (count n))) ==> (BIGUNION (IMAGE f UNIV) = BIGUNION (IMAGE g UNIV))``, (* proof *) `!f g. (!n. BIGUNION (IMAGE g (count n)) = BIGUNION (IMAGE f (count n))) ==> (BIGUNION (IMAGE f UNIV) SUBSET BIGUNION (IMAGE g UNIV))` suffices_by PROVE_TAC [SUBSET_ANTISYM] >> REWRITE_TAC [SUBSET_DEF] >> REPEAT STRIP_TAC >> rename1 `e IN BIGUNION _` >> Know `?n. e IN BIGUNION (IMAGE f (count n))` >- (FULL_SIMP_TAC std_ss [IN_BIGUNION, IN_IMAGE, PULL_EXISTS, IN_COUNT] \\ rename1 `e IN f n'` \\ Q.EXISTS_TAC `SUC n'` \\ Q.EXISTS_TAC `n'` \\ ASM_SIMP_TAC arith_ss []) >> STRIP_TAC >> `e IN BIGUNION (IMAGE g (count n))` by PROVE_TAC [] >> FULL_SIMP_TAC std_ss [IN_BIGUNION, IN_IMAGE, PULL_EXISTS, IN_UNIV] >> METIS_TAC []); > Il giorno 16 set 2018, alle ore 08:37, Chun Tian (binghe) > <binghe.l...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > > Cancel this question.
