smash sum ==>
coalesced sum
<theory> (Or "smash sum") In domain theory, the coalesced sum of domains
A and B, A (+) B, contains all the non-bottom elements of both domains, tagged
to show which part of the sum they come from, and a new bottom element.
D (+) E = { bottom(D(+)E) }
U { (0,d) | d in D, d /= bottom(D) }
U { (1,e) | e in E, e /= bottom(E) }
The bottoms of the constituent domains are coalesced into a single bottom
in the sum. This may be generalised to any number of
domains.
The ordering is
bottom(D(+)E) <= v For all v in D(+)E
(i,v1) <= (j,v2) iff i = j & v1 <= v2
"<=" is usually written as LaTeX \sqsubseteq and "(+)" as LaTeX \oplus - a
"+" in a circle.
