Order relations

An important class of functions on the natural numbers are the order relations, strict less-than and less than or equal. There are many ways to define these relations; the library defines (propositional-valued) tex2html_wrap_inline353 as

displaymath351

It is hoped that the theorems given in the library are an adequate abstract interface for the relation tex2html_wrap_inline353 , i.e. any other lemmas are provable from the ones given without using the details of the definition. This can be enforced by using the command Freeze Le.
