Code for manipulation equivalence classes on index types. An Equivalence
is an equivalence relation. The empty equivalence relation is constructed
over a ranges of values using emptyEquivalence
. Less discerning
equivalence relations can be obtained with equate
and equateAll
.
The relation can be tested with equiv
and equivalent
, and canonical
representatives can be chosen with repr
.
An example follows:
import Data.Equivalence.Persistent rel = equateAll [1,3,5,7,9] . equate 5 6 . equate 2 4 $ emptyEquivalence (1,10) test1 = equiv rel 3 5 -- This is True test2 = equiv rel 1 6 -- This is True test3 = equiv rel 4 6 -- This is False

data Equivalence i Source
An Equivalence
is an equivalence relation on a range of values of some
index type.
emptyEquivalence :: Ix i => (i, i) -> Equivalence iSource
emptyEquivalence
is an equivalence relation that equates two values
only when they are equal to each other. It is the most discerning such
relation possible.
repr :: Ix i => Equivalence i -> i -> iSource
repr
gives a canonical representative of the equivalence class
containing x
. It is chosen arbitrarily, but is always the same for a
given Equivalence
value.
If you are using this function, you're probably doing something wrong. Please note that:
- The representative chosen depends on the order in which the
equivalence relation was built, and are not always the same for
values that represent the same relation.
* The representative is not particularly stable. Uses of
equate
are highly likely to change it. * If all you need is some representative of the equivalence class, you have to provide one as input to the function anyway, so you may as well use that.
Because of this, the function may be removed in a future version. Please contact me if you have a compelling use for it.
equiv :: Ix i => Equivalence i -> i -> i -> BoolSource
Determines if two values are equivalent under the given equivalence relation.
equivalent :: Ix i => Equivalence i -> [i] -> BoolSource
Determines if all of the given values are equivalent under the given equivalence relation.
equate :: Ix i => i -> i -> Equivalence i -> Equivalence iSource
Construct the equivalence relation obtained by equating the given two values. This combines equivalence classes.
equateAll :: Ix i => [i] -> Equivalence i -> Equivalence iSource
Construct the equivalence relation obtained by equating all of the given values. This combines equivalence classes.
