The Galois Connection Induced by a Relation #
In this file, we show that an arbitrary relation R
between a pair of types α
and β
defines
a pair toDual ∘ R.leftDual
and R.rightDual ∘ ofDual
of adjoint order-preserving maps between the
corresponding posets Set α
and (Set β)ᵒᵈ
.
We define R.leftFixedPoints
(resp. R.rightFixedPoints
) as the set of fixed points J
(resp. I
) of Set α
(resp. Set β
) such that rightDual (leftDual J) = J
(resp. leftDual (rightDual I) = I
).
Main Results #
⋆ Rel.gc_leftDual_rightDual
: we prove that the maps toDual ∘ R.leftDual
and
R.rightDual ∘ ofDual
form a Galois connection.
⋆ Rel.equivFixedPoints
: we prove that the maps R.leftDual
and R.rightDual
induce inverse
bijections between the sets of fixed points.
