The integers form a linear ordered ring #
This file contains:
- instances on ℤ. The stronger one isInt.instLinearOrderedCommRing.
- basic lemmas about integers that involve order properties.
Recursors #
- Int.rec: Sign disjunction. Something is true/defined on- ℤif it's true/defined for nonnegative and for negative values. (Defined in core Lean 3)
- Int.inductionOn: Simple growing induction on positive numbers, plus simple decreasing induction on negative numbers. Note that this recursor is currently only- Prop-valued.
- Int.inductionOn': Simple growing induction for numbers greater than- b, plus simple decreasing induction on numbers less than- b.

(dvd : p.gcd q ∣ n)
(le : p.pred * q.pred ≤ n)
 :
If the gcd of two natural numbers p and q divides a third natural number n,
and if n is at least (p - 1) * (q - 1), then n can be represented as an ℕ-linear
combination of p and q.
TODO: show that if p.gcd q = 1 and 0 ≤ n ≤ (p - 1) * (q - 1) - 1 = N, then n is
representable iff N - n is not. In particular N is not representable, solving the
coin problem for two coins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_problem#n_=_2.
