proof

assume t in ].r,s.] \/ ].p,q.] ; :: thesis: t in ].(min r,p),(max s,q).]
then ( t in ].r,s.] or t in ].p,q.] ) by XBOOLE_0:def 3;
then ( ( r < t & t <= s ) or ( p < t & t <= q ) ) by Th2;
then ( min r,p < t & t <= max s,q ) by XXREAL_0:22, XXREAL_0:31;
hence t in ].(min r,p),(max s,q).] by Th2; :: thesis: verum

per cases ( ( r < t & t <= s ) or ( p < t & t <= q ) or ( p < t & t <= s ) or ( r < t & t <= q ) ) by A5, XXREAL_0:20, XXREAL_0:29;

suppose ( ( r < t & t <= s ) or ( p < t & t <= q ) ) ; :: thesis: t in ].r,s.] \/ ].p,q.]

suppose that A6: p < t and

suppose that A8: r < t and
