   axiomatizes a Gordon/HOL-style type definition in the background

   theory of the current context, depending on a non-emptiness result

   of the set \isa{A} (which needs to be proven interactively).

   The raw type may not depend on parameters or assumptions of the

   context --- this is logically impossible in Isabelle/HOL --- but the

   non-emptiness property can be local, potentially resulting in

   multiple interpretations in target contexts.  Thus the established

   bijection between the representing set \isa{A} and the new type

   \isa{t} may semantically depend on local assumptions.

   By default, \hyperlink{command.HOL.typedef}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{typedef}}}} defines both a type \isa{t}

   and a set (term constant) of the same name, unless an alternative

   base name is given in parentheses, or the ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharparenleft}open{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}}''

   declaration is used to suppress a separate constant definition

   altogether.  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 for the set definition (and other derived

   entities) may be specified in parentheses; the default is to use

   \isa{t} as indicated before.

 \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

 \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}} \\

   \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 theorems.  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}}.

   solve goals regarding the completeness of pattern matching, as

   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}.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.partial-function}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{partial{\isacharunderscore}function}}}} defines recursive

   functions based on fixpoints in complete partial orders. No

   termination proof is required from the user or constructed

   internally. Instead, the possibility of non-termination is modelled

   explicitly in the result type, which contains an explicit bottom

   element.

   Pattern matching and mutual recursion are currently not supported.

   Thus, the specification consists of a single function described by a

   single recursive equation.

   There are no fixed syntactic restrictions on the body of the

   function, but the induced functional must be provably monotonic

   wrt.\ the underlying order.  The monotonicitity proof is performed

   internally, and the definition is rejected when it fails. The proof

   can be influenced by declaring hints using the

   \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.partial-function-mono}{\mbox{\isa{partial{\isacharunderscore}function{\isacharunderscore}mono}}} attribute.

   The mandatory \isa{mode} argument specifies the mode of operation

   of the command, which directly corresponds to a complete partial

   order on the result type. By default, the following modes are

   defined: 

   \begin{description}

   \item \isa{option} defines functions that map into the \isa{option} type. Here, the value \isa{None} is used to model a

   non-terminating computation. Monotonicity requires that if \isa{None} is returned by a recursive call, then the overall result

   must also be \isa{None}. This is best achieved through the use of

   the monadic operator \isa{{\isachardoublequote}Option{\isachardot}bind{\isachardoublequote}}.

   \item \isa{tailrec} defines functions with an arbitrary result

   type and uses the slightly degenerated partial order where \isa{{\isachardoublequote}undefined{\isachardoublequote}} is the bottom element.  Now, monotonicity requires that

   if \isa{undefined} is returned by a recursive call, then the

   overall result must also be \isa{undefined}. In practice, this is

   only satisfied when each recursive call is a tail call, whose result

   is directly returned. Thus, this mode of operation allows the

   definition of arbitrary tail-recursive functions.

   \end{description}

   Experienced users may define new modes by instantiating the locale

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}partial{\isacharunderscore}function{\isacharunderscore}definitions{\isachardoublequote}} appropriately.

   \item \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.partial-function-mono}{\mbox{\isa{partial{\isacharunderscore}function{\isacharunderscore}mono}}} declares rules for

   use in the internal monononicity proofs of partial function

   definitions.

 \isamarkuptrue%

 %

 \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.

 Each (co)inductive definition \isa{R} adds definitions to the

   theory and also proves some theorems:

   \begin{description}

   \item \isa{R{\isachardot}intros} is the list of introduction rules as proven

   theorems, for the recursive predicates (or sets).  The rules are

   also available individually, using the names given them in the

   theory file;

   \item \isa{R{\isachardot}cases} is the case analysis (or elimination) rule;

   \item \isa{R{\isachardot}induct} or \isa{R{\isachardot}coinduct} is the (co)induction

   rule.

   \end{description}

   When several predicates \isa{{\isachardoublequote}R\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}\ {\isasymdots}{\isacharcomma}\ R\isactrlsub n{\isachardoublequote}} are

   defined simultaneously, the list of introduction rules is called

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}R\isactrlsub {\isadigit{1}}{\isacharunderscore}{\isasymdots}{\isacharunderscore}R\isactrlsub n{\isachardot}intros{\isachardoublequote}}, the case analysis rules are

 \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}}

     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; typical evaluators use the current set of code equations

     to normalize and include \isa{simp} for fully symbolic evaluation

     using the simplifier, \isa{nbe} for \emph{normalization by evaluation}

     and \emph{code} for code generation in SML.

     counter examples using a series of arbitrary assignments for its

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

     A number of configuration options are supported for

     structured proofs should be ignored.

     \item[\isa{timeout}] sets the time limit in seconds.

     \item[\isa{default{\isacharunderscore}type}] sets the type(s) generally used to

     instantiate type variables.

     \item[\isa{report}] if set quickcheck reports how many tests

     fulfilled the preconditions.

     \item[\isa{quiet}] if not set quickcheck informs about the

     current size for assignment values.

     \item[\isa{expect}] can be used to check if the user's

     expectation was met (\isa{no{\isacharunderscore}expectation}, \isa{no{\isacharunderscore}counterexample}, or \isa{counterexample}).

       \item[timeout] sets the time limit in seconds.

       \item[default\_type] sets the type(s) generally used to instantiate

         type variables.

       \item[report] if set quickcheck reports how many tests fulfilled

         the preconditions.

       \item[quiet] if not set quickcheck informs about the current size

         for assignment values.

       \item[expect] can be used to check if the user's expectation was met

         (no\_expectation, no\_counterexample, or counterexample)

     \end{description}

     These option can be given within square brackets.

 \isamarkupsection{Executable code%

 }

 \isamarkuptrue%

 %

 \begin{isamarkuptext}%

 Isabelle/Pure provides two generic frameworks to support code

   generation from executable specifications.  Isabelle/HOL

   instantiates these mechanisms in a way that is amenable to end-user

   applications.

   \medskip One framework generates code from functional programs

   (including overloading using type classes) to SML \cite{SML}, OCaml

   \cite{OCaml}, Haskell \cite{haskell-revised-report} and Scala

   \cite{scala-overview-tech-report}.

   Conceptually, code generation is split up in three steps:

   \emph{selection} of code theorems, \emph{translation} into an

   abstract executable view and \emph{serialization} to a specific

   \emph{target language}.  Inductive specifications can be executed

   using the predicate compiler which operates within HOL.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.export-code}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{export{\isacharunderscore}code}}}} generates code for a given list

   of constants in the specified target language(s).  If no

   serialization instruction is given, only abstract code is generated

   internally.

   Constants may be specified by giving them literally, referring to

   all executable contants within a certain theory by giving \isa{{\isachardoublequote}name{\isachardot}{\isacharasterisk}{\isachardoublequote}}, or referring to \emph{all} executable constants currently

   available by giving \isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharasterisk}{\isachardoublequote}}.

   By default, for each involved theory one corresponding name space

   module is generated.  Alternativly, a module name may be specified

   after the \hyperlink{keyword.module-name}{\mbox{\isa{\isakeyword{module{\isacharunderscore}name}}}} keyword; then \emph{all} code is

   placed in this module.

   For \emph{SML}, \emph{OCaml} and \emph{Scala} the file specification

   refers to a single file; for \emph{Haskell}, it refers to a whole

   directory, where code is generated in multiple files reflecting the

   module hierarchy.  Omitting the file specification denotes standard

   output.

   Serializers take an optional list of arguments in parentheses.  For

   \emph{SML} and \emph{OCaml}, ``\isa{no{\isacharunderscore}signatures}`` omits

   explicit module signatures.

   For \emph{Haskell} a module name prefix may be given using the

   ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}root{\isacharcolon}{\isachardoublequote}}'' argument; ``\isa{string{\isacharunderscore}classes}'' adds a

   ``\verb|deriving (Read, Show)|'' clause to each appropriate

   datatype declaration.

   \item \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.code}{\mbox{\isa{code}}} explicitly selects (or with option

   ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}del{\isachardoublequote}}'' deselects) a code equation for code generation.

   Usually packages introducing code equations provide a reasonable

   default setup for selection.  Variants \isa{{\isachardoublequote}code\ abstype{\isachardoublequote}} and

   \isa{{\isachardoublequote}code\ abstract{\isachardoublequote}} declare abstract datatype certificates or

   code equations on abstract datatype representations respectively.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-abort}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}abort}}}} declares constants which are not

   required to have a definition by means of code equations; if needed

   these are implemented by program abort instead.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-datatype}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}datatype}}}} specifies a constructor set

   for a logical type.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.print-codesetup}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}codesetup}}}} gives an overview on

   selected code equations and code generator datatypes.

   \item \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.code-inline}{\mbox{\isa{code{\isacharunderscore}inline}}} declares (or with option

   ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}del{\isachardoublequote}}'' removes) inlining theorems which are applied as

   rewrite rules to any code equation during preprocessing.

   \item \hyperlink{attribute.HOL.code-post}{\mbox{\isa{code{\isacharunderscore}post}}} declares (or with option ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}del{\isachardoublequote}}'' removes) theorems which are applied as rewrite rules to any

   result of an evaluation.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.print-codeproc}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{print{\isacharunderscore}codeproc}}}} prints the setup of the code

   generator preprocessor.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-thms}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}thms}}}} prints a list of theorems

   representing the corresponding program containing all given

   constants after preprocessing.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-deps}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}deps}}}} visualizes dependencies of

   theorems representing the corresponding program containing all given

   constants after preprocessing.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-const}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}const}}}} associates a list of constants

   with target-specific serializations; omitting a serialization

   deletes an existing serialization.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-type}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}type}}}} associates a list of type

   constructors with target-specific serializations; omitting a

   serialization deletes an existing serialization.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-class}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}class}}}} associates a list of classes

   with target-specific class names; omitting a serialization deletes

   an existing serialization.  This applies only to \emph{Haskell}.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-instance}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}instance}}}} declares a list of type

   constructor / class instance relations as ``already present'' for a

   given target.  Omitting a ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharminus}{\isachardoublequote}}'' deletes an existing

   ``already present'' declaration.  This applies only to

   \emph{Haskell}.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-reserved}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}reserved}}}} declares a list of names as

   reserved for a given target, preventing it to be shadowed by any

   generated code.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-monad}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}monad}}}} provides an auxiliary mechanism

   to generate monadic code for Haskell.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-include}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}include}}}} adds arbitrary named content

   (``include'') to generated code.  A ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}{\isacharminus}{\isachardoublequote}}'' as last argument

   will remove an already added ``include''.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-modulename}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}modulename}}}} declares aliasings from one

   module name onto another.

   \item \hyperlink{command.HOL.code-reflect}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{code{\isacharunderscore}reflect}}}} without a ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}file{\isachardoublequote}}''

   argument compiles code into the system runtime environment and

   modifies the code generator setup that future invocations of system

   runtime code generation referring to one of the ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}datatypes{\isachardoublequote}}'' or ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}functions{\isachardoublequote}}'' entities use these precompiled

   entities.  With a ``\isa{{\isachardoublequote}file{\isachardoublequote}}'' argument, the corresponding code

   is generated into that specified file without modifying the code

   generator setup.

   \end{description}

   The other framework generates code from both functional and

   relational programs to SML.  See \cite{isabelle-HOL} for further

   information (this actually covers the new-style theory format as

   well).

   Whether to use \hyperlink{command.HOL.specification}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{specification}}}} or \hyperlink{command.HOL.ax-specification}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ax{\isacharunderscore}specification}}}} is to some extent a matter of style.  \hyperlink{command.HOL.specification}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{specification}}}} introduces no new axioms, and so by

   construction cannot introduce inconsistencies, whereas \hyperlink{command.HOL.ax-specification}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ax{\isacharunderscore}specification}}}} does introduce axioms, but only after the

   user has explicitly proven it to be safe.  A practical issue must be

   considered, though: After introducing two constants with the same

   properties using \hyperlink{command.HOL.specification}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{specification}}}}, one can prove

   that the two constants are, in fact, equal.  If this might be a

   problem, one should use \hyperlink{command.HOL.ax-specification}{\mbox{\isa{\isacommand{ax{\isacharunderscore}specification}}}}.%
