Theorem frins

Description: Well-Founded Induction Schema. If a property passes from all elements less than y of a well-founded class A to y itself (induction hypothesis), then the property holds for all elements of A . (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 6-Feb-2011) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 26-Jun-2015)
