  to the original \hyperlink{command.typedecl}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{typedecl}}}} of Isabelle/Pure (see

  \secref{sec:types-pure}), but also declares type arity \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isacharparenleft}type{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ type{\isacharparenright}\ type{\isachardoublequote}}, making \isa{t} an actual HOL type

  a goal stating non-emptiness of the set \isa{A}.  After finishing

  the proof, the theory will be augmented by a Gordon/HOL-style type

  definition, which establishes a bijection between the representing

  set \isa{A} and the new type \isa{t}.

  Technically, \hyperlink{command.HOL.typedef}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{typedef}}}} defines both a type \isa{t} and a set (term constant) of the same name (an alternative base

  name may be given in parentheses).  The injection from type to set

  is called \isa{Rep{\isacharunderscore}t}, its inverse \isa{Abs{\isacharunderscore}t} (this may be

  changed via an explicit \hyperlink{keyword.HOL.morphisms}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{morphisms}}}} declaration).

  Theorems \isa{Rep{\isacharunderscore}t}, \isa{Rep{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}inverse}, and \isa{Abs{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}inverse} provide the most basic characterization as a

  corresponding injection/surjection pair (in both directions).  Rules

  \isa{Rep{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}inject} and \isa{Abs{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}inject} provide a slightly

  more convenient view on the injectivity part, suitable for automated

  proof tools (e.g.\ in \hyperlink{attribute.simp}{\mbox{\isa{simp}}} or \hyperlink{attribute.iff}{\mbox{\isa{iff}}}

  declarations).  Rules \isa{Rep{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}cases}/\isa{Rep{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}induct}, and

  \isa{Abs{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}cases}/\isa{Abs{\isacharunderscore}t{\isacharunderscore}induct} provide alternative views

  on surjectivity; these are already declared as set or type rules for

  the generic \hyperlink{method.cases}{\mbox{\isa{cases}}} and \hyperlink{method.induct}{\mbox{\isa{induct}}} methods.

  An alternative name may be specified in parentheses; the default is

  to use \isa{t} as indicated before.  The ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}open{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}}''

  declaration suppresses a separate constant definition for the

  representing set.

  \end{description}

  Note that raw type declarations are rarely used in practice; the

  main application is with experimental (or even axiomatic!) theory

  fragments.  Instead of primitive HOL type definitions, user-level

  theories usually refer to higher-level packages such as \hyperlink{command.HOL.record}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{record}}}} (see \secref{sec:hol-record}) or \hyperlink{command.HOL.datatype}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{datatype}}}} (see \secref{sec:hol-datatype}).%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%

In principle, records merely generalize the concept of tuples, where

  components may be addressed by labels instead of just position.  The

  logical infrastructure of records in Isabelle/HOL is slightly more

  advanced, though, supporting truly extensible record schemes.  This

  admits operations that are polymorphic with respect to record

  extension, yielding ``object-oriented'' effects like (single)

  inheritance.  See also \cite{NaraschewskiW-TPHOLs98} for more

  details on object-oriented verification and record subtyping in HOL.%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%

Isabelle/HOL supports both \emph{fixed} and \emph{schematic} records

  at the level of terms and types.  The notation is as follows:

  \begin{center}

  \begin{tabular}{l|l|l}

    & record terms & record types \\ \hline

    fixed & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ A{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ B{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} \\

    schematic & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharequal}\ m{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} &

      \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ A{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ B{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ M{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} \\

  \end{tabular}

  \end{center}

  \noindent The ASCII representation of \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} is \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isacharbar}\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ a\ {\isacharbar}{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}}.

  A fixed record \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} has field \isa{x} of value

  \isa{a} and field \isa{y} of value \isa{b}.  The corresponding

  type is \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ A{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ B{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}}, assuming that \isa{{\isachardoublequote}a\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ A{\isachardoublequote}}

  and \isa{{\isachardoublequote}b\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ B{\isachardoublequote}}.

  A record scheme like \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharequal}\ m{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} contains fields

  \isa{x} and \isa{y} as before, but also possibly further fields

  as indicated by the ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymdots}{\isachardoublequote}}'' notation (which is actually part

  of the syntax).  The improper field ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymdots}{\isachardoublequote}}'' of a record

  scheme is called the \emph{more part}.  Logically it is just a free

  variable, which is occasionally referred to as ``row variable'' in

  the literature.  The more part of a record scheme may be

  instantiated by zero or more further components.  For example, the

  previous scheme may get instantiated to \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isacharcomma}\ z\ {\isacharequal}\ c{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharequal}\ m{\isacharprime}{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}}, where \isa{m{\isacharprime}} refers to a different more part.

  Fixed records are special instances of record schemes, where

  ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymdots}{\isachardoublequote}}'' is properly terminated by the \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ unit{\isachardoublequote}}

  element.  In fact, \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} is just an abbreviation

  for \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ b{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isacharparenright}{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}}.

  \medskip Two key observations make extensible records in a simply

  typed language like HOL work out:

  \begin{enumerate}

  \item the more part is internalized, as a free term or type

  variable,

  \item field names are externalized, they cannot be accessed within

  the logic as first-class values.

  \end{enumerate}

  \medskip In Isabelle/HOL record types have to be defined explicitly,

  fixing their field names and types, and their (optional) parent

  record.  Afterwards, records may be formed using above syntax, while

  obeying the canonical order of fields as given by their declaration.

  The record package provides several standard operations like

  selectors and updates.  The common setup for various generic proof

  tools enable succinct reasoning patterns.  See also the Isabelle/HOL

  tutorial \cite{isabelle-hol-book} for further instructions on using

  records in practice.%

  The type variables of \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymtau}{\isachardoublequote}} and \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} need to be

Type constructor \isa{t} has to be new, while \isa{{\isasymtau}} needs to specify an instance of an existing record type.  At

  least one new field \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} has to be specified.

  Basically, field names need to belong to a unique record.  This is

  not a real restriction in practice, since fields are qualified by

  the record name internally.

  The parent record specification \isa{{\isasymtau}} is optional; if omitted

  \isa{t} becomes a root record.  The hierarchy of all records

  declared within a theory context forms a forest structure, i.e.\ a

  set of trees starting with a root record each.  There is no way to

  merge multiple parent records!

}

\isamarkuptrue%

%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%

Any record definition of the form presented above produces certain

  standard operations.  Selectors and updates are provided for any

  field, including the improper one ``\isa{more}''.  There are also

  cumulative record constructor functions.  To simplify the

  presentation below, we assume for now that \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymalpha}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymalpha}\isactrlsub m{\isacharparenright}\ t{\isachardoublequote}} is a root record with fields \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ c\isactrlsub n\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub n{\isachardoublequote}}.

  \medskip \textbf{Selectors} and \textbf{updates} are available for

  any field (including ``\isa{more}''):

  \begin{matharray}{lll}

    \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}\isactrlvec c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymsigma}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymzeta}{\isasymrparr}\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} \\

    \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub i{\isacharunderscore}update{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub i\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymlparr}\isactrlvec c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymsigma}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymzeta}{\isasymrparr}\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymlparr}\isactrlvec c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymsigma}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymzeta}{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} \\

  \end{matharray}

  There is special syntax for application of updates: \isa{{\isachardoublequote}r{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ a{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} abbreviates term \isa{{\isachardoublequote}x{\isacharunderscore}update\ a\ r{\isachardoublequote}}.  Further notation for

  repeated updates is also available: \isa{{\isachardoublequote}r{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ a{\isasymrparr}{\isasymlparr}y\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ b{\isasymrparr}{\isasymlparr}z\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ c{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} may be written \isa{{\isachardoublequote}r{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ b{\isacharcomma}\ z\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ c{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}}.  Note that

  because of postfix notation the order of fields shown here is

  reverse than in the actual term.  Since repeated updates are just

  function applications, fields may be freely permuted in \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}x\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ a{\isacharcomma}\ y\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ b{\isacharcomma}\ z\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharequal}\ c{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}}, as far as logical equality is concerned.

  Thus commutativity of independent updates can be proven within the

  logic for any two fields, but not as a general theorem.

  \medskip The \textbf{make} operation provides a cumulative record

  constructor function:

  \begin{matharray}{lll}

    \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}make{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub n\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymlparr}\isactrlvec c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymsigma}{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} \\

  \end{matharray}

  \medskip We now reconsider the case of non-root records, which are

  derived of some parent.  In general, the latter may depend on

  another parent as well, resulting in a list of \emph{ancestor

  records}.  Appending the lists of fields of all ancestors results in

  a certain field prefix.  The record package automatically takes care

  of this by lifting operations over this context of ancestor fields.

  Assuming that \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymalpha}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymalpha}\isactrlsub m{\isacharparenright}\ t{\isachardoublequote}} has ancestor

  fields \isa{{\isachardoublequote}b\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymrho}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ b\isactrlsub k\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymrho}\isactrlsub k{\isachardoublequote}},

  the above record operations will get the following types:

  \medskip

  \begin{tabular}{lll}

    \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymlparr}\isactrlvec b\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymrho}{\isacharcomma}\ \isactrlvec c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymsigma}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ {\isasymzeta}{\isasymrparr}\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub i{\isachardoublequote}} \\

    \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}make{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymrho}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isasymrho}\isactrlsub k\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isasymsigma}\isactrlsub n\ {\isasymRightarrow}\ {\isasymlparr}\isactrlvec b\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymrho}{\isacharcomma}\ \isactrlvec c\ {\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}\ \isactrlvec {\isasymsigma}{\isasymrparr}{\isachardoublequote}} \\

  \end{tabular}

  \medskip

  \noindent Some further operations address the extension aspect of a

  derived record scheme specifically: \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}fields{\isachardoublequote}} produces a

  record fragment consisting of exactly the new fields introduced here

  (the result may serve as a more part elsewhere); \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}extend{\isachardoublequote}}

  takes a fixed record and adds a given more part; \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}truncate{\isachardoublequote}} restricts a record scheme to a fixed record.

\begin{isamarkuptext}%

The record package proves several results internally, declaring

  these facts to appropriate proof tools.  This enables users to

  reason about record structures quite conveniently.  Assume that

  \isa{t} is a record type as specified above.

  \begin{enumerate}

  \item Standard conversions for selectors or updates applied to

  record constructor terms are made part of the default Simplifier

  context; thus proofs by reduction of basic operations merely require

  the \hyperlink{method.simp}{\mbox{\isa{simp}}} method without further arguments.  These rules

  are available as \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}simps{\isachardoublequote}}, too.

  \item Selectors applied to updated records are automatically reduced

  by an internal simplification procedure, which is also part of the

  standard Simplifier setup.

  \item Inject equations of a form analogous to \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}x{\isacharcomma}\ y{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharparenleft}x{\isacharprime}{\isacharcomma}\ y{\isacharprime}{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymequiv}\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ x{\isacharprime}\ {\isasymand}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ y{\isacharprime}{\isachardoublequote}} are declared to the Simplifier and Classical

  Reasoner as \hyperlink{attribute.iff}{\mbox{\isa{iff}}} rules.  These rules are available as

  \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}iffs{\isachardoublequote}}.

  \item The introduction rule for record equality analogous to \isa{{\isachardoublequote}x\ r\ {\isacharequal}\ x\ r{\isacharprime}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ y\ r\ {\isacharequal}\ y\ r{\isacharprime}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ r\ {\isacharequal}\ r{\isacharprime}{\isachardoublequote}} is declared to the Simplifier,

  and as the basic rule context as ``\hyperlink{attribute.intro}{\mbox{\isa{intro}}}\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharquery}{\isachardoublequote}}''.

  The rule is called \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}equality{\isachardoublequote}}.

  \item Representations of arbitrary record expressions as canonical

  constructor terms are provided both in \hyperlink{method.cases}{\mbox{\isa{cases}}} and \hyperlink{method.induct}{\mbox{\isa{induct}}} format (cf.\ the generic proof methods of the same name,

  \secref{sec:cases-induct}).  Several variations are available, for

  fixed records, record schemes, more parts etc.

  The generic proof methods are sufficiently smart to pick the most

  sensible rule according to the type of the indicated record

  expression: users just need to apply something like ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}cases\ r{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}}'' to a certain proof problem.

  \item The derived record operations \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}make{\isachardoublequote}}, \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}fields{\isachardoublequote}}, \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}extend{\isachardoublequote}}, \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}truncate{\isachardoublequote}} are \emph{not}

  treated automatically, but usually need to be expanded by hand,

  using the collective fact \isa{{\isachardoublequote}t{\isachardot}defs{\isachardoublequote}}.

  \begin{description}

  \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.primrec}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{primrec}}}} defines primitive recursive

  functions over datatypes, see also \cite{isabelle-HOL}.

  \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.function}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{function}}}} defines functions by general

  wellfounded recursion. A detailed description with examples can be

  found in \cite{isabelle-function}. The function is specified by a

  set of (possibly conditional) recursive equations with arbitrary

  pattern matching. The command generates proof obligations for the

  completeness and the compatibility of patterns.

  The defined function is considered partial, and the resulting

  simplification rules (named \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f{\isachardot}psimps{\isachardoublequote}}) and induction rule

  (named \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f{\isachardot}pinduct{\isachardoublequote}}) are guarded by a generated domain

  predicate \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f{\isacharunderscore}dom{\isachardoublequote}}. The \hyperlink{command.HOL.termination}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{termination}}}}

  command can then be used to establish that the function is total.

  \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.fun}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{fun}}}} is a shorthand notation for ``\hyperlink{command.HOL.function}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{function}}}}~\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}sequential{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}}, followed by automated

  proof attempts regarding pattern matching and termination.  See

  \cite{isabelle-function} for further details.

  \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.termination}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{termination}}}}~\isa{f} commences a

  termination proof for the previously defined function \isa{f}.  If

  this is omitted, the command refers to the most recent function

  definition.  After the proof is closed, the recursive equations and

  the induction principle is established.

  \end{description}

  Recursive definitions introduced by the \hyperlink{command.HOL.function}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{function}}}}

  command accommodate

  reasoning by induction (cf.\ \secref{sec:cases-induct}): rule \isa{{\isachardoublequote}c{\isachardot}induct{\isachardoublequote}} (where \isa{c} is the name of the function definition)

  refers to a specific induction rule, with parameters named according

  to the user-specified equations. Cases are numbered (starting from 1).

  For \hyperlink{command.HOL.primrec}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{primrec}}}}, the induction principle coincides

  with structural recursion on the datatype the recursion is carried

  out.

  The equations provided by these packages may be referred later as

  theorem list \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f{\isachardot}simps{\isachardoublequote}}, where \isa{f} is the (collective)

  name of the functions defined.  Individual equations may be named

  explicitly as well.

  The \hyperlink{command.HOL.function}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{function}}}} command accepts the following

  options.

  \begin{description}

  \item \isa{sequential} enables a preprocessor which disambiguates

  overlapping patterns by making them mutually disjoint.  Earlier

  equations take precedence over later ones.  This allows to give the

  specification in a format very similar to functional programming.

  Note that the resulting simplification and induction rules

  correspond to the transformed specification, not the one given

  originally. This usually means that each equation given by the user

  may result in several theroems.  Also note that this automatic

  transformation only works for ML-style datatype patterns.

  \item \isa{domintros} enables the automated generation of

  introduction rules for the domain predicate. While mostly not

  needed, they can be helpful in some proofs about partial functions.

  \item \isa{tailrec} generates the unconstrained recursive

  equations even without a termination proof, provided that the

  function is tail-recursive. This currently only works

  \item \isa{{\isachardoublequote}default\ d{\isachardoublequote}} allows to specify a default value for a

  (partial) function, which will ensure that \isa{{\isachardoublequote}f\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ d\ x{\isachardoublequote}}

  whenever \isa{{\isachardoublequote}x\ {\isasymnotin}\ f{\isacharunderscore}dom{\isachardoublequote}}.

  required by the \hyperlink{command.HOL.function}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{function}}}} package (cf.\

  \cite{isabelle-function}).

  \item \hyperlink{method.HOL.relation}{\mbox{\isa{relation}}}~\isa{R} introduces a termination

  proof using the relation \isa{R}.  The resulting proof state will

  contain goals expressing that \isa{R} is wellfounded, and that the

  arguments of recursive calls decrease with respect to \isa{R}.

  Usually, this method is used as the initial proof step of manual

  termination proofs.

  \item \hyperlink{method.HOL.lexicographic-order}{\mbox{\isa{lexicographic{\isacharunderscore}order}}} attempts a fully

  automated termination proof by searching for a lexicographic

  combination of size measures on the arguments of the function. The

  method accepts the same arguments as the \hyperlink{method.auto}{\mbox{\isa{auto}}} method,

  which it uses internally to prove local descents.  The same context

  modifiers as for \hyperlink{method.auto}{\mbox{\isa{auto}}} are accepted, see

  \secref{sec:clasimp}.

  In case of failure, extensive information is printed, which can help

  to analyse the situation (cf.\ \cite{isabelle-function}).

  \item \hyperlink{method.HOL.size-change}{\mbox{\isa{size{\isacharunderscore}change}}} also works on termination goals,

  using a variation of the size-change principle, together with a

  graph decomposition technique (see \cite{krauss_phd} for details).

  Three kinds of orders are used internally: \isa{max}, \isa{min},

  and \isa{ms} (multiset), which is only available when the theory

  \isa{Multiset} is loaded. When no order kinds are given, they are

  tried in order. The search for a termination proof uses SAT solving

  internally.

 For local descent proofs, the same context modifiers as for \hyperlink{method.auto}{\mbox{\isa{auto}}} are accepted, see \secref{sec:clasimp}.

\begin{isamarkuptext}%

An \textbf{inductive definition} specifies the least predicate (or

  set) \isa{R} closed under given rules: applying a rule to elements

  of \isa{R} yields a result within \isa{R}.  For example, a

  structural operational semantics is an inductive definition of an

  evaluation relation.

  Dually, a \textbf{coinductive definition} specifies the greatest

  predicate~/ set \isa{R} that is consistent with given rules: every

  element of \isa{R} can be seen as arising by applying a rule to

  elements of \isa{R}.  An important example is using bisimulation

  relations to formalise equivalence of processes and infinite data

  structures.

  \medskip The HOL package is related to the ZF one, which is

  described in a separate paper,\footnote{It appeared in CADE

  \cite{paulson-CADE}; a longer version is distributed with Isabelle.}

  which you should refer to in case of difficulties.  The package is

  simpler than that of ZF thanks to implicit type-checking in HOL.

  The types of the (co)inductive predicates (or sets) determine the

  domain of the fixedpoint definition, and the package does not have

  to use inference rules for type-checking.

\isamarkupsubsection{Monotonicity theorems%

}

\isamarkuptrue%

%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%

Each theory contains a default set of theorems that are used in

  monotonicity proofs.  New rules can be added to this set via the

  \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.mono}{\mbox{\isa{mono}}} attribute.  The HOL theory \isa{Inductive}

  shows how this is done.  In general, the following monotonicity

  theorems may be added:

  \begin{itemize}

  \item Theorems of the form \isa{{\isachardoublequote}A\ {\isasymle}\ B\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ M\ A\ {\isasymle}\ M\ B{\isachardoublequote}}, for proving

  monotonicity of inductive definitions whose introduction rules have

  premises involving terms such as \isa{{\isachardoublequote}M\ R\isactrlsub i\ t{\isachardoublequote}}.

  \item Monotonicity theorems for logical operators, which are of the

  general form \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymdots}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isasymdots}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ {\isasymdots}{\isachardoublequote}}.  For example, in

  the case of the operator \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymor}{\isachardoublequote}}, the corresponding theorem is

  \[

  \infer{\isa{{\isachardoublequote}P\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymor}\ P\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymor}\ Q\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardoublequote}}}{\isa{{\isachardoublequote}P\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isachardoublequote}} & \isa{{\isachardoublequote}P\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q\isactrlsub {\isadigit{2}}{\isachardoublequote}}}

  \]

  \item De Morgan style equations for reasoning about the ``polarity''

  of expressions, e.g.

  \[

  \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymnot}\ {\isasymnot}\ P\ {\isasymlongleftrightarrow}\ P{\isachardoublequote}} \qquad\qquad

  \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isasymnot}\ {\isacharparenleft}P\ {\isasymand}\ Q{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymlongleftrightarrow}\ {\isasymnot}\ P\ {\isasymor}\ {\isasymnot}\ Q{\isachardoublequote}}

  \]

  \item Equations for reducing complex operators to more primitive

  ones whose monotonicity can easily be proved, e.g.

  \[

  \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}P\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymlongleftrightarrow}\ {\isasymnot}\ P\ {\isasymor}\ Q{\isachardoublequote}} \qquad\qquad

  \isa{{\isachardoublequote}Ball\ A\ P\ {\isasymequiv}\ {\isasymforall}x{\isachardot}\ x\ {\isasymin}\ A\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ P\ x{\isachardoublequote}}

  \]

  The \hyperlink{method.HOL.arith}{\mbox{\isa{arith}}} method decides linear arithmetic problems

  (on types \isa{nat}, \isa{int}, \isa{real}).  Any current

  facts are inserted into the goal before running the procedure.

  The \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.arith}{\mbox{\isa{arith}}} attribute declares facts that are

  always supplied to the arithmetic provers implicitly.

  The \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.arith-split}{\mbox{\isa{arith{\isacharunderscore}split}}} attribute declares case split

  rules to be expanded before \hyperlink{method.HOL.arith}{\mbox{\isa{arith}}} is invoked.

  goal before commencing proof search; ``\hyperlink{method.HOL.iprover}{\mbox{\isa{iprover}}}\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharbang}{\isachardoublequote}}''  means to include the current \hyperlink{fact.prems}{\mbox{\isa{prems}}} as well.

  Rules need to be classified as \hyperlink{attribute.Pure.intro}{\mbox{\isa{intro}}},

  \hyperlink{attribute.Pure.elim}{\mbox{\isa{elim}}}, or \hyperlink{attribute.Pure.dest}{\mbox{\isa{dest}}}; here the

  ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharbang}{\isachardoublequote}}'' indicator refers to ``safe'' rules, which may be

  applied aggressively (without considering back-tracking later).

  Rules declared with ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharquery}{\isachardoublequote}}'' are ignored in proof search (the

  single-step \hyperlink{method.rule}{\mbox{\isa{rule}}} method still observes these).  An

  explicit weight annotation may be given as well; otherwise the

  number of rule premises will be taken into account here.%

    term; optionally \isa{modes} can be specified, which are

    appended to the current print mode (see also \cite{isabelle-ref}).

    Internally, the evaluation is performed by registered evaluators,

    which are invoked sequentially until a result is returned.

    Alternatively a specific evaluator can be selected using square

    brackets; available evaluators include \isa{nbe} for

    \emph{normalization by evaluation} and \emph{code} for code

    generation in SML.

  \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.quickcheck}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{quickcheck}}}} tests the current goal for

    counter examples using a series of arbitrary assignments for its

    free variables; by default the first subgoal is tested, an other

    can be selected explicitly using an optional goal index.

    A number of configuration options are supported for

    \hyperlink{command.HOL.quickcheck}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{quickcheck}}}}, notably:

    \begin{description}

      \item[size] specifies the maximum size of the search space for

        assignment values.

      \item[iterations] sets how many sets of assignments are

        generated for each particular size.

      \item[no\_assms] specifies whether assumptions in

        structured proofs should be ignored.

    \end{description}

    These option can be given within square brackets.

  \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.quickcheck-params}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{quickcheck{\isacharunderscore}params}}}} changes quickcheck

\isamarkupsection{Invoking automated reasoning tools -- The Sledgehammer%

}

\isamarkuptrue%

%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%

Isabelle/HOL includes a generic \emph{ATP manager} that allows

  external automated reasoning tools to crunch a pending goal.

  Supported provers include E\footnote{\url{http://www.eprover.org}},

  SPASS\footnote{\url{http://www.spass-prover.org/}}, and Vampire.

  There is also a wrapper to invoke provers remotely via the

  SystemOnTPTP\footnote{\url{http://www.cs.miami.edu/~tptp/cgi-bin/SystemOnTPTP}}

  web service.

  The problem passed to external provers consists of the goal together

  with a smart selection of lemmas from the current theory context.

  The result of a successful proof search is some source text that

  usually reconstructs the proof within Isabelle, without requiring

  external provers again.  The Metis

  prover\footnote{\url{http://www.gilith.com/software/metis/}} that is

  integrated into Isabelle/HOL is being used here.

  In this mode of operation, heavy means of automated reasoning are

  used as a strong relevance filter, while the main proof checking

  works via explicit inferences going through the Isabelle kernel.

  Moreover, rechecking Isabelle proof texts with already specified

  auxiliary facts is much faster than performing fully automated

  search over and over again.
