This directorty contains the higher order quotients in Isabelle HOL
  |

  |

     3  | 
higher order quotients use partial equivalence relations/classes (PERs) 
  | 
| 
 | 
     4  | 
instead of euivalence relations/classes
  | 
| 
 | 
     5  | 
We have two classes er<per
  |

Quotients are a specialization of higher order quotients.

The use the same constructor quot with the subclass er.

The example shows how to define an equivalence relation and how to use

    12  | 
the quotients.
