Negligible function

Negligibledef

A function is negligible when it eventually falls below every inverse polynomial. In cryptography this is the formal meaning of "an adversary's success probability is too small to matter".

def Negligible (f : ℕ → ℝ) : Prop :=
  ∀ k : ℕ, ∀ᶠ n in Filter.atTop, |f n| ≤ 1 / (n : ℝ) ^ k
