Vector lattices
i. Overview
A real vector lattice is an ordered real vector space in which any two elements have a least upper bound. Two nonnegative elements are disjoint when their infimum is `0`. This file collects the elementary arithmetic of infima: the Riesz decomposition, the behaviour of infima under positive scalars, and how disjointness interacts with sums and with least upper bounds of sequences.
ii. Key results
- `VectorLattice.riesz_decomposition` : an element below a sum of two nonnegative elements splits into two pieces, one below each summand. - `VectorLattice.smul_inf` : positive scalars distribute over infima. - `VectorLattice.inf_sum_of_pairwise` : infima distribute over sums of pairwise disjoint nonnegative elements. - `VectorLattice.isLUB_inf` : infima distribute over least upper bounds of sequences.
