Archimedean groups and fields. #

THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.

This file defines the archimedean property for ordered groups and proves several results connected to this notion. Being archimedean means that for all elements x and y>0 there exists a natural number n such that x ≤ n • y.

structure archimedean (α : Type u_2) [ordered_add_comm_monoid α] :
Prop
  • arch : ∀ (x : α) {y : α}, 0 < y → (∃ (n : ℕ), x ≤ n • y)

An ordered additive commutative monoid is called archimedean if for any two elements x, y such that 0 < y there exists a natural number n such that x ≤ n • y.
