Definition
In set theory
A LetCauchy approximation in be a the premetric rational space numbers and let is a function , where is the set of functions with domain and codomain , such that
be the set of positive rational numbers. Let be a premetric space. A Cauchy approximation is a function , where is the set of functions with domain and codomain , such that
The set of all Cauchy approximations is defined as
In homotopy type theory
Let be a dense integral subdomain of therational numbers and let and let be the positive terms of .
Let be a -premetric space. We define the predicate
be the positive rational numbers. Let be a premetric space. We define the predicate
is a -Cauchy approximation if
is a Cauchy approximation if
The type of -Cauchy approximations in is defined as
The type of Cauchy approximations in is defined as
Properties
Every Cauchy approximation is a-Cauchy approximation is a Cauchy net indexed by . This is because is a strictly ordered type, and thus a directed type and a strictly codirected type, with defined as for and . is defined as .
Thus, there is a family of dependent terms
An A Cauchy approximation is the composition -Cauchy approximation of is a the net composition of and a an net and an -modulus of Cauchy convergence .
