Order-connected sets #
We say that a set s : Set α is OrdConnected if for all x y ∈ s it includes the
interval [[x, y]]. If α is a DenselyOrdered ConditionallyCompleteLinearOrder with
the OrderTopology, then this condition is equivalent to IsPreconnected s. If α is a
LinearOrderedField, then this condition is also equivalent to Convex α s.
In this file we prove that intersection of a family of OrdConnected sets is OrdConnected and
that all standard intervals are OrdConnected.
It suffices to prove [[x, y]] ⊆ s for x y ∈ s, x ≤ y.
In a dense order α, the subtype from an OrdConnected set is also densely ordered.
The preimage of an OrdConnected set under a map which is monotone on a set t,
when intersected with t, is OrdConnected. More precisely, it is the intersection with t
of an OrdConnected set.
The preimage of an OrdConnected set under a map which is antitone on a set t,
when intersected with t, is OrdConnected. More precisely, it is the intersection with t
of an OrdConnected set.
