Order Extension and Szpilrajn's Extension Theorem

Peter Zeller and Lukas Stevens

27 July 2019

Abstract

This entry is concerned with the principle of order extension, i.e. the extension of an order relation to a total order relation. To this end, we prove a more general version of Szpilrajn's extension theorem employing terminology from the book "Consistency, Choice, and Rationality" by Bossert and Suzumura. We also formalize theorem 2.7 of their book.
