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

Ref Expression
Assertion cortrcltrcl t* t+ = t*

Proof

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