Hi Thomas, yes, you’re totally right. My original problem cannot be resolved just in scope of set theory. I’m trying to prove the uniqueness of measure: [UNIQUENESS_OF_MEASURE] ∀sp sts f u v. sp ∈ sts ∧ subset_class sp sts ∧ (∀s t. s ∈ sts ∧ t ∈ sts ⇒ s ∩ t ∈ st

Hi Chun, no, it still does not hold. The problem is that case that "a" might be infinite and while there is for every element 'e' of 'a' an 'n' with 'e IN f n' you need arbitrary large ones. A tiny modification of Ramana's counterexample is f x := count x sp := UNIV a := { n | even n } Cheers

no… by drawing pictures and think it more, this statement is still not true, if the set is general (of type ‘a -> bool). please forget the whole question. I must have assumed something wrong in earlier places. thanks all the same. —Chun > Il giorno 18 set 2018, alle ore 10:25, Chun Tian (bingh

Hi Ramana, thanks for your help. Sorry, I realized that the case “a = sp” can be eliminated from other assumptions, thus I actually have another constraint “a ≠ sp” in my original goals: ∃x. a ⊆ f x 4. f 0 = ∅ 5. ∀i j. i ≤ j ⇒ f i ⊆ f j

I think this is false. Here's a proof of the opposite, with the type of f instantiated to a num set generator: val thm = Q.prove( `¬( ∀(f:num->num->bool) a sp. (f 0 = ∅) ∧ (∀n. f n ⊆ f (SUC n)) ∧ (∀n. f n ⊆ sp) ∧ (BIGUNION (IMAGE f 𝕌(:num)) = sp) ∧ (a ⊆ sp) ⇒ ∃x. a ⊆ f x)`, rw[]

sorry, I also have this necessary assumption: 5. BIGUNION (IMAGE f 𝕌(:num)) = sp > Il giorno 18 set 2018, alle ore 01:00, Chun Tian (binghe) > ha scritto: > > Hi, > > I ran into the following goal in the proof of a big theorem: > > ∃x. a ⊆ f x >
