W types #

Given α : Type and β : α → Type, the W type determined by this data, WType β, is the inductively defined type of trees where the nodes are labeled by elements of α and the children of a node labeled a are indexed by elements of β a.

This file is currently a stub, awaiting a full development of the theory. Currently, the main result is that if α is an encodable fintype and β a is encodable for every a : α, then WType β is encodable. This can be used to show the encodability of other inductive types, such as those that are commonly used to formalize syntax, e.g. terms and expressions in a given language. The strategy is illustrated in the example found in the file prop_encodable in the archive/examples folder of mathlib.

Implementation details #

While the name WType is somewhat verbose, it is preferable to putting a single character identifier W in the root namespace.

inductive WType {α : Type u_1} (β : αType u_2) :
Type (max u_1 u_2)

Given β : α → Type*, WType β is the type of finitely branching trees where nodes are labeled by elements of α and the children of a node labeled a are indexed by elements of β a.
