Defines the sum and the product on [0,∞]: real operations on real arguments, ∞ otherwise, with the convention 0·∞ = ∞·0 = 0.
In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let , its order , its sum, its product and its elements and be as in The Real Numbers, with the Natural Numbers, Integers and Rationals Identified with Subsets of the Reals, and Completeness (ii), and let and be as in The Extended Real Line, Its Order, and [0,∞] (i) and The Extended Real Line, Its Order, and [0,∞] (ii). For , with the components (Membership in a Cartesian Product, and the Cartesian Product of Two Sets Is a Set (i)).
The sum on is the binary operation on with the sum in if , and otherwise, for . It exists and is unique by Maps Defined by Cases (i), applied on to the condition : for real with and , the real sum is real with , so it lies in , and .
The product on is the binary operation on , with also written , such that for : is the product in if ; if or ; and otherwise. The elements and of lie in , as and in . The first two cases agree where they overlap, as a real product with a factor is . It exists and is unique by two applications of Maps Defined by Cases (i): first to the map with if and , or and , and otherwise; then to the map with value the real product if , which is real with , and otherwise. If not both of are real, then one of them is , and exactly when the other is ; so the values are those stated.
