Lists from functions

Theorems and lemmas for dealing with List.ofFn, which converts a function on Fin n to a list of length n.

Main Statements

The main statements pertain to lists generated using List.ofFn

• List.get?_ofFn, which tells us the nth element of such a list
• List.equivSigmaTuple, which is an Equiv between lists and the functions that generate them via List.ofFn.

theorem List.get_ofFn {α : Type u} {n : ℕ} (f : Fin n → α) (i : Fin (ofFn f).length) : (ofFn f).get i = f (Fin.cast ⋯ i)

theorem List.ofFn_comp' {α : Type u} {β : Type u_1} {n : ℕ} (f : Fin n → α) (g : α → β) : (ofFn fun (i : Fin n) => g (f i)) = map g (ofFn f)

Useful if rw [← map_ofFn] complains that g ∘ f is not the same as fun i => g (f i).

theorem List.ofFn_congr {α : Type u} {m n : ℕ} (h : m = n) (f : Fin m → α) : ofFn f = ofFn fun (i : Fin n) => f (Fin.cast ⋯ i)

theorem List.ofFn_succ' {α : Type u} {n : ℕ} (f : Fin n.succ → α) : ofFn f = (ofFn fun (i : Fin n) => f i.castSucc).concat (f (Fin.last n))

theorem List.ofFn_fin_append {α : Type u} {m n : ℕ} (a : Fin m → α) (b : Fin n → α) : ofFn (Fin.append a b) = ofFn a ++ ofFn b

theorem List.ofFn_mul {α : Type u} {m n : ℕ} (f : Fin (m * n) → α) : ofFn f = (ofFn fun (i : Fin m) => ofFn fun (j : Fin n) => f ⟨↑i * n + ↑j, ⋯⟩).flatten

This breaks a list of m*n items into m groups each containing n elements.

theorem List.ofFn_mul' {α : Type u} {m n : ℕ} (f : Fin (m * n) → α) : ofFn f = (ofFn fun (i : Fin n) => ofFn fun (j : Fin m) => f ⟨m * ↑i + ↑j, ⋯⟩).flatten

This breaks a list of m*n items into n groups each containing m elements.

Lists are equivalent to the sigma type of tuples of a given length.
