Hi all, I wonder if it's possible to get Mathematica to understand specified properties of functions when simplifying. For example, by default it does not know that BitAnd[x, y] <= x: In = FullSimplify[BitAnd[x, 10] <= 10] Out = BitAnd[10, x] <= 10 (expected result is True) I tried using ForAll, but without success: In = Assuming[ ForAll[{x, y}, 0 <= BitAnd[x, y] <= x && 0 <= BitAnd[x, y] <= y], FullSimplify[BitAnd[10, x] <= 10]] Out = BitAnd[10, x] <= 10 Any ideas?
