Formal Calculus #

We introduce formal structures for integration and differentiation. Properties should be added to make these mathematically sound. But correctness can be ensured temporarily by making sure individual definitions are correct.

Formal Integrals #

class Integrable (f : ) :
  • integral :
  • interval_union : ∀ (a b c : ), integral a c = integral a b + integral b c

Integrability of f, i.e., given an interval [a, b], we can compute the integral of f over that interval. Additivity over intervals is also required.

Instances
    def integral (f : ) [int : Integrable f] (a : ) (b : ) :

    The integral of a function, with the typeclass derived

    Equations
    theorem integral_point (f : ) [int : Integrable f] (a : ) :
    integral f a a = 0

    The integral over a single point is zero, proved as an illustration.

    As an exercise, prove that flip ends of an interval gives the negative of the integral.

    Formal Derivatives #

    We define so called one-jets as a value and a derivative at a point. A differentiable function has values a one-jet at each point.

    structure OneJet :

    A one-jet is a value and a derivative at a point.

    Instances For
      structure SmoothFunction :

      A differentiable function is a function that has a one-jet at each point.

      Instances For

        Derivative of a smooth function, i.e., the derivative of the one-jet at a point.

        Equations

        The value of a smooth function, i.e., the value of the one-jet at a point.

        Equations

        Integrable functions can be obtained from smooth functions via the fundamental theorem of calculus.

        Equations
        • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

        Constructions of smooth functions #

        To use the above we need to construct a few smooth functions

        Constant functions as smooth functions.

        Equations

        Sum of smooth functions.

        Equations
        • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

        Product of smooth functions using Liebnitz rule.

        Equations
        • One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.

        Product of a scalar and a smooth function.

        Equations

        This gives polynomial functions as a special case. As an exercise, prove that smooth functions form a Ring (indeed an Algebra over ℝ).

        We will define some polynomials as smooth functions as an example.

        The coordinate function

        Equations

        The power function for a smooth function (automatic if ring is proved)

        Equations

        A polynomial. We can have cleaner notation but the goal is to illustrate the construction
