Library Coq.Init.Peano


The type nat of Peano natural numbers (built from O and S) is defined in Datatypes.v
This module defines the following operations on natural numbers :
  • predecessor pred
  • addition plus
  • multiplication mult
  • less or equal order le
  • less lt
  • greater or equal ge
  • greater gt
It states various lemmas and theorems about natural numbers, including Peano's axioms of arithmetic (in Coq, these are provable). Case analysis on nat and induction on nat * nat are provided too
