Converting an Arrival Curve + Worst-Case/Best-Case to a Request-Bound Function (RBF)

In the following, we show a way to convert a given arrival curve, paired with a worst-case/best-case execution time, to a request-bound function. Definitions and proofs will handle both lower-bounding and upper-bounding arrival curves.
Consider any type of tasks with a given cumulative cost and minimum scalar cost.
... and any type of jobs associated with these tasks.
  Context {Job : JobType} `{JobTask Job Task} `{JobCost Job}.

Let MaxArr and MinArr represent two arrivals curves. MaxArr upper-bounds the possible number or arrivals for a given task, whereas MinArr lower-bounds it.
  Context `{MaxArr : MaxArrivals Task} `{MinArr : MinArrivals Task}.

We define the upper-bounding conversion as the cumulative cost of the maximum number of arrivals during Δ. Symmetrically, in the lower-bounding case, the cumulative cost of the jobs is derived from the task's BCET via scalar multiplication.
Finally, we show that the newly defined functions are indeed request-bound functions.
  Global Program Instance max_arrivals_rbf : MaxRequestBound Task :=
  {
    max_request_bound := task_max_rbf max_arrivals
  }.
  Global Program Instance min_arrivals_rbf : MinRequestBound Task :=
  {
    min_request_bound := task_min_rbf min_arrivals
  }.

In the following section, we prove that the transformation yields a request-bound function that conserves correctness properties in both the upper-bounding and lower-bounding cases.
First, we establish the validity of the transformation for a single, given task.
  Section SingleTask.

Consider an arbitrary task tsk ...
    Variable tsk : Task.

... and any job arrival sequence.
    Variable arr_seq : arrival_sequence Job.

First, note that any valid upper-bounding arrival curve, after being converted, is a valid request-bound function.
    Fact valid_arrival_curve_to_max_rbf :
      valid_task_cumulative_cost tsk
      valid_arrival_curve (max_arrivals tsk)
      valid_request_bound_function (max_request_bound tsk).
    Proof.
      move ⇒ [CZERO CMONO] [AZERO AMONO].
      rewrite /max_request_bound //=; split.
      - by rewrite /task_max_rbf AZERO CZERO.
      - by movex y LEQ; apply/CMONO/AMONO.
    Qed.

The same idea can be applied in the lower-bounding case.
    Fact valid_arrival_curve_to_min_rbf :
      valid_arrival_curve (min_arrivals tsk)
      valid_request_bound_function (min_request_bound tsk).
    Proof.
      move ⇒ [ZERO MONO].
      rewrite /min_request_bound //=; split.
      - by rewrite /task_min_rbf ZERO muln0.
      - movex y LEQ; rewrite /task_min_rbf.
        case: (task_min_cost tsk) ⇒ [|c].
        × by rewrite mul0n.
        × by rewrite leq_pmul2l.
    Qed.

Next, we prove that the task respects the request-bound function in the upper-bounding case. Note that, for this to work, we assume that the cost of tasks upper-bounds the cost of the jobs belonging to them (i.e., the task cost is the worst case).
    Fact respects_arrival_curve_to_max_rbf :
      valid_task_cumulative_cost tsk
      respects_task_cumulative_cost arr_seq tsk
      respects_max_arrivals arr_seq tsk (max_arrivals tsk)
      respects_max_request_bound arr_seq tsk (max_request_bound tsk).
    Proof.
      move⇒ [_ MONO] COST RESPECT t1 t2 LEQ.
      apply leq_trans with (n := task_cumulative_cost tsk (number_of_task_arrivals arr_seq tsk t1 t2)) ⇒ //=.
      rewrite /cost_of_task_arrivals /number_of_task_arrivals.
      by apply/COST/task_arrivals_between_is_consecutive_task_arrival.
    Qed.

Finally, we prove that the task respects the request-bound function also in the lower-bounding case. This time, we assume that the cost of tasks lower-bounds the cost of the jobs belonging to them. (i.e., the task cost is the best-case).
    Fact respects_arrival_curve_to_min_rbf :
      jobs_have_valid_min_job_costs
      respects_min_arrivals arr_seq tsk (min_arrivals tsk)
      respects_min_request_bound arr_seq tsk (min_request_bound tsk).
    Proof.
      moveCOST RESPECT t1 t2 LEQ.
      rewrite /min_request_bound //=.
      apply leq_trans with (n := task_min_cost tsk × number_of_task_arrivals arr_seq tsk t1 t2) ⇒ //.
      - by destruct (task_min_cost tsk) eqn:C; rewrite /task_min_rbf C // leq_pmul2l.
      - rewrite /min_arrivals /number_of_task_arrivals -sum1_size big_distrr //= muln1 leq_sum_seq // ⇒ j.
        rewrite mem_filter ⇒ /andP [/eqP TSK _] _.
        rewrite -TSK.
        by apply COST.
    Qed.

  End SingleTask.

Next, we lift the results to the previous section to an arbitrary task set.
  Section TaskSet.

Let ts be an arbitrary task set ...
    Variable ts : TaskSet Task.

... and consider any job arrival sequence.
    Variable arr_seq : arrival_sequence Job.

First, we generalize the validity of the transformation to a task set both in the upper-bounding case ...
    Corollary valid_taskset_arrival_curve_to_max_rbf :
      taskset_has_valid_cumulative_cost_bounds ts
      valid_taskset_arrival_curve ts max_arrivals
      valid_taskset_request_bound_function ts max_request_bound.
    Proof.
      moveWCET VALID tsk IN.
      by apply: valid_arrival_curve_to_max_rbf.
    Qed.

... and in the lower-bounding case.
    Corollary valid_taskset_arrival_curve_to_min_rbf :
      valid_taskset_arrival_curve ts min_arrivals
      valid_taskset_request_bound_function ts min_request_bound.
    Proof.
      moveVALID tsk IN.
      specialize (VALID tsk IN).
      by apply valid_arrival_curve_to_min_rbf.
    Qed.

Second, we show that a task set that respects a given arrival curve also respects the produced request-bound function, lifting the result obtained in the single-task case. The result is valid in the upper-bounding case...
    Corollary taskset_respects_arrival_curve_to_max_rbf :
      taskset_has_valid_cumulative_cost_bounds ts
      taskset_respects_cumulative_cost_bounds arr_seq ts
      taskset_respects_max_arrivals arr_seq ts
      taskset_respects_max_request_bound arr_seq ts.
    Proof.
      moveVALID BOUND RESP tsk IN.
      by apply: respects_arrival_curve_to_max_rbf.
    Qed.

...as well as in the lower-bounding case.
    Corollary taskset_respects_arrival_curve_to_min_rbf :
      jobs_have_valid_min_job_costs
      taskset_respects_min_arrivals arr_seq ts
      taskset_respects_min_request_bound arr_seq ts.
    Proof.
      moveTASK_COST SET_RESPECTS tsk IN.
      by apply respects_arrival_curve_to_min_rbf, SET_RESPECTS.
    Qed.

  End TaskSet.

End ArrivalCurveToRBF.

We add the lemmas into the "Hint Database" basic_rt_facts so that they become available for proof automation.
