Linearly ordered commutative additive groups and monoids with a top element adjoined #

This file sets up a special class of linearly ordered commutative additive monoids that show up as the target of so-called “valuations” in algebraic number theory.

Usually, in the informal literature, these objects are constructed by taking a linearly ordered commutative additive group Γ and formally adjoining a top element: Γ ∪ {⊤}.

The disadvantage is that a type such as ENNReal is not of that form, whereas it is a very common target for valuations. The solutions is to use a typeclass, and that is exactly what we do in this file.

A linearly ordered commutative monoid with an additively absorbing element. Instances should include number systems with an infinite element adjoined.

    Instances

      In a LinearOrderedAddCommMonoidWithTop, the element is invariant under addition.

          If α has subtraction, we can extend the subtraction to WithTop α, by setting x - ⊤ = ⊤ and ⊤ - x = ⊤. This definition is only registered as an instance on linearly ordered additive commutative groups, to avoid conflicting with the instance WithTop.instSub on types with a bottom element.
