Isomorphism to Closed Interval

Theorem
Let $m, n \in \N$ such that $m < n$.

Let $\closedint {m + 1} n$ denote the integer interval from $m + 1$ to $n$.

Let $h: \N_{n - m} \to \closedint {m + 1} n$ be the mapping defined as:


 * $\forall x \in \N_{n - m}: \map h x = x + m + 1$

Let the orderings on $\closedint {m + 1} n$ and $\N_{n - m}$ be those induced by the ordering of $\N$.

Then $h$ a unique order isomorphism.

Proof
First note that the cardinality of $\closedint {m + 1} n$ is given by:


 * $\card {\closedint {m + 1} n} = n - m$

From Unique Isomorphism between Equivalent Finite Totally Ordered Sets, it suffices to show that $h$ is an order isomorphism.

To this end, remark that, for all $x, y \in \N_{n - m}$:

proving $h$ is an injection, and so a bijection, from Equivalence of Mappings between Sets of Same Cardinality.

By Ordering on Natural Numbers is Compatible with Addition and Natural Number Addition is Cancellable for Ordering, it follows that:


 * $x \le y \iff \map h x \le \map h y$

so $h$ is an order isomorphism.
