Description: An ordering relationship for surreal multiplication. Compare theorem 8(iii) of Conway p. 19. (Contributed by Scott Fenton, 6-Mar-2025)

Ref Expression
Hypotheses ltmulsd.1 ⊢ ( 𝜑 → 𝐴 ∈ No )
ltmulsd.2 ⊢ ( 𝜑 → 𝐵 ∈ No )
ltmulsd.3 ⊢ ( 𝜑 → 𝐶 ∈ No )
ltmulsd.4 ⊢ ( 𝜑 → 𝐷 ∈ No )
ltmulsd.5 ⊢ ( 𝜑 → 𝐴 <s 𝐵 )
ltmulsd.6 ⊢ ( 𝜑 → 𝐶 <s 𝐷 )
Assertion ltmulsd ( 𝜑 → ( ( 𝐴 ·s 𝐷 ) -s ( 𝐴 ·s 𝐶 ) ) <s ( ( 𝐵 ·s 𝐷 ) -s ( 𝐵 ·s 𝐶 ) ) )
