Description: Composition with the reflexive-transitive closure absorbs the reflexive closure. (Contributed by RP, 13-Jun-2020)

Ref Expression
Assertion cortrclrcl t* r* = t*

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 cotrclrcl t+ r* = t*
2 1 eqcomi t* = t+ r*
3 2 coeq1i t* r* = t+ r* r*
4 coass t+ r* r* = t+ r* r*
5 corclrcl r* r* = r*
6 5 coeq2i t+ r* r* = t+ r*
7 6 1 eqtri t+ r* r* = t*
8 4 7 eqtri t+ r* r* = t*
9 3 8 eqtri t* r* = t*
