(* Title: HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy ID: $Id: Common_Patterns.thy,v 1.2 2007/09/16 19:18:43 wenzelm Exp $ Author: Makarius *) header {* Common patterns of induction *} theory Common_Patterns imports Main begin text {* The subsequent Isar proof schemes illustrate common proof patterns supported by the generic @{text "induct"} method. To demonstrate variations on statement (goal) structure we refer to the induction rule of Peano natural numbers: @{thm nat.induct [no_vars]}, which is the simplest case of datatype induction. We shall also see more complex (mutual) datatype inductions involving several rules. Working with inductive predicates is similar, but involves explicit facts about membership, instead of implicit syntactic typing. *} subsection {* Variations on statement structure *} subsubsection {* Local facts and parameters *} text {* Augmenting a problem by additional facts and locally fixed variables is a bread-and-butter method in many applications. This is where unwieldy object-level @{text "∀"} and @{text "-->"} used to occur in the past. The @{text "induct"} method works with primary means of the proof language instead. *} lemma fixes n :: nat and x :: 'a assumes "A n x" shows "P n x" using `A n x` proof (induct n arbitrary: x) case 0 note prem = `A 0 x` show "P 0 x" sorry next case (Suc n) note hyp = `!!x. A n x ==> P n x` and prem = `A (Suc n) x` show "P (Suc n) x" sorry qed subsubsection {* Local definitions *} text {* Here the idea is to turn sub-expressions of the problem into a defined induction variable. This is often accompanied with fixing of auxiliary parameters in the original expression, otherwise the induction step would refer invariably to particular entities. This combination essentially expresses a partially abstracted representation of inductive expressions. *} lemma fixes a :: "'a => nat" assumes "A (a x)" shows "P (a x)" using `A (a x)` proof (induct n ≡ "a x" arbitrary: x) case 0 note prem = `A (a x)` and defn = `0 = a x` show "P (a x)" sorry next case (Suc n) note hyp = `!!x. A (a x) ==> n = a x ==> P (a x)` and prem = `A (a x)` and defn = `Suc n = a x` show "P (a x)" sorry qed text {* Observe how the local definition @{text "n = a x"} recurs in the inductive cases as @{text "0 = a x"} and @{text "Suc n = a x"}, according to underlying induction rule. *} subsubsection {* Simple simultaneous goals *} text {* The most basic simultaneous induction operates on several goals one-by-one, where each case refers to induction hypotheses that are duplicated according to the number of conclusions. *} lemma fixes n :: nat shows "P n" and "Q n" proof (induct n) case 0 case 1 show "P 0" sorry next case 0 case 2 show "Q 0" sorry next case (Suc n) case 1 note hyps = `P n` `Q n` show "P (Suc n)" sorry next case (Suc n) case 2 note hyps = `P n` `Q n` show "Q (Suc n)" sorry qed text {* The split into subcases may be deferred as follows -- this is particularly relevant for goal statements with local premises. *} lemma fixes n :: nat shows "A n ==> P n" and "B n ==> Q n" proof (induct n) case 0 { case 1 note `A 0` show "P 0" sorry next case 2 note `B 0` show "Q 0" sorry } next case (Suc n) note `A n ==> P n` and `B n ==> Q n` { case 1 note `A (Suc n)` show "P (Suc n)" sorry next case 2 note `B (Suc n)` show "Q (Suc n)" sorry } qed subsubsection {* Compound simultaneous goals *} text {* The following pattern illustrates the slightly more complex situation of simultaneous goals with individual local assumptions. In compound simultaneous statements like this, local assumptions need to be included into each goal, using @{text "==>"} of the Pure framework. In contrast, local parameters do not require separate @{text "!!"} prefixes here, but may be moved into the common context of the whole statement. *} lemma fixes n :: nat and x :: 'a and y :: 'b shows "A n x ==> P n x" and "B n y ==> Q n y" proof (induct n arbitrary: x y) case 0 { case 1 note prem = `A 0 x` show "P 0 x" sorry } { case 2 note prem = `B 0 y` show "Q 0 y" sorry } next case (Suc n) note hyps = `!!x. A n x ==> P n x` `!!y. B n y ==> Q n y` then have some_intermediate_result sorry { case 1 note prem = `A (Suc n) x` show "P (Suc n) x" sorry } { case 2 note prem = `B (Suc n) y` show "Q (Suc n) y" sorry } qed text {* Here @{text "induct"} provides again nested cases with numbered sub-cases, which allows to share common parts of the body context. In typical applications, there could be a long intermediate proof of general consequences of the induction hypotheses, before finishing each conclusion separately. *} subsection {* Multiple rules *} text {* Multiple induction rules emerge from mutual definitions of datatypes, inductive predicates, functions etc. The @{text "induct"} method accepts replicated arguments (with @{text "and"} separator), corresponding to each projection of the induction principle. The goal statement essentially follows the same arrangement, although it might be subdivided into simultaneous sub-problems as before! *} datatype foo = Foo1 nat | Foo2 bar and bar = Bar1 bool | Bar2 bazar and bazar = Bazar foo text {* The pack of induction rules for this datatype is: @{thm [display] foo_bar_bazar.inducts [no_vars]} This corresponds to the following basic proof pattern: *} lemma fixes foo :: foo and bar :: bar and bazar :: bazar shows "P foo" and "Q bar" and "R bazar" proof (induct foo and bar and bazar) case (Foo1 n) show "P (Foo1 n)" sorry next case (Foo2 bar) note `Q bar` show "P (Foo2 bar)" sorry next case (Bar1 b) show "Q (Bar1 b)" sorry next case (Bar2 bazar) note `R bazar` show "Q (Bar2 bazar)" sorry next case (Bazar foo) note `P foo` show "R (Bazar foo)" sorry qed text {* This can be combined with the previous techniques for compound statements, e.g.\ like this. *} lemma fixes x :: 'a and y :: 'b and z :: 'c and foo :: foo and bar :: bar and bazar :: bazar shows "A x foo ==> P x foo" and "B1 y bar ==> Q1 y bar" "B2 y bar ==> Q2 y bar" and "C1 z bazar ==> R1 z bazar" "C2 z bazar ==> R2 z bazar" "C3 z bazar ==> R3 z bazar" proof (induct foo and bar and bazar arbitrary: x and y and z) oops subsection {* Inductive predicates *} text {* The most basic form of induction involving predicates (or sets) essentially eliminates a given membership fact. *} inductive Even :: "nat => bool" where zero: "Even 0" | double: "Even n ==> Even (2 * n)" lemma assumes "Even n" shows "P n" using assms proof induct case zero show "P 0" sorry next case (double n) note `Even n` and `P n` show "P (2 * n)" sorry qed text {* Alternatively, an initial rule statement may be proven as follows, performing ``in-situ'' elimination with explicit rule specification. *} lemma "Even n ==> P n" proof (induct rule: Even.induct) oops text {* Simultaneous goals do not introduce anything new. *} lemma assumes "Even n" shows "P1 n" and "P2 n" using assms proof induct case zero { case 1 show "P1 0" sorry next case 2 show "P2 0" sorry } next case (double n) note `Even n` and `P1 n` and `P2 n` { case 1 show "P1 (2 * n)" sorry next case 2 show "P2 (2 * n)" sorry } qed text {* Working with mutual rules requires special care in composing the statement as a two-level conjunction, using lists of propositions separated by @{text "and"}. For example: *} inductive Evn :: "nat => bool" and Odd :: "nat => bool" where zero: "Evn 0" | succ_Evn: "Evn n ==> Odd (Suc n)" | succ_Odd: "Odd n ==> Evn (Suc n)" lemma "Evn n ==> P1 n" "Evn n ==> P2 n" "Evn n ==> P3 n" and "Odd n ==> Q1 n" "Odd n ==> Q2 n" proof (induct rule: Evn_Odd.inducts) case zero { case 1 show "P1 0" sorry } { case 2 show "P2 0" sorry } { case 3 show "P3 0" sorry } next case (succ_Evn n) note `Evn n` and `P1 n` `P2 n` `P3 n` { case 1 show "Q1 (Suc n)" sorry } { case 2 show "Q2 (Suc n)" sorry } next case (succ_Odd n) note `Odd n` and `Q1 n` `Q2 n` { case 1 show "P1 (Suc n)" sorry } { case 2 show "P2 (Suc n)" sorry } { case 3 show "P3 (Suc n)" sorry } qed end
