| 831 | +<p>Examples:</p> |
| 832 | + |
| 833 | +<ul> |
| 834 | + |
| 835 | +<li> |
| 836 | + If we have the coefficients of a polynomial, ~ elplyr gives explicit |
| 837 | + existence (in the form of a function definition) for a polynomial |
| 838 | + with those coefficients. But suppose we have a polynomial: can we |
| 839 | + gets its coefficients? In the case of truncated existence, yes: |
| 840 | + ~ elply2 does that. But explicit existence in this case would be |
| 841 | + something like df-coe from set.mm. |
| 842 | +</li> |
| 843 | + |
| 844 | +<li> |
| 845 | + Saying that a sequence converges using the notation ` F e. dom ~~> ` |
| 846 | + is making an assertion of truncated existence; we are saying that |
| 847 | + there is a rate at which the sequence converges but we are providing |
| 848 | + no way to get that rate. (Note the use of ` E. ` in ~ df-clim ). |
| 849 | + On the other hand, the hypothesis in ~ climcvg1n gives the rate at |
| 850 | + which the sequence converges, and often we will need that rate of |
| 851 | + convergence rather than the truncated (mere) existence of such a rate. |
| 852 | +</li> |
| 853 | + |
| 854 | +<li> |
| 855 | + In ~ ctssdccl we show a mapping ` G ` and specify explicitly, |
| 856 | + via a hypothesis used as a local definition, what it is (contrast |
| 857 | + with ~ ctssdc which is using truncated existence). |
| 858 | +</li> |
| 859 | + |
| 860 | +<li> |
| 861 | + Because the existence for ` g ` in ~ omiunct is truncated, |
| 862 | + we need countable choice to get explicit existence and thus apply |
| 863 | + ~ ctiunct which requires explicit existence. |
| 864 | +</li> |
