Added weak congruence rules to HOL: if_weak_cong, case_weak_cong, split_weak_cong, nat_case_weak_cong, nat_rec_weak_cong. Used in llist.ML to make simplifications faster. HOL/gfp: re-ordered premises to put mono(f) early (first or right after A==gfp(f) in the def_ rules). Renamed some variables in rules, A to X and h to A. Renamed coinduct to weak_coinduct, coinduct2 to coinduct. Strengthened coinduct as suggested by j. Frost, to have the premise X <= f(X Un gfp(f)). HOL/llist: used stronger coinduct rule to strengthen LList_coinduct, LList_equalityI, llist_equalityI, llist_fun_equalityI and to delete the "2" form of those rules. Proved List_Fun_LList_I, LListD_Fun_diag_I and llistD_Fun_range_I to help use the new coinduction rules; most proofs involving them required small changes. Proved prod_fun_range_eq_diag as lemma for llist_equalityI.

		HOL: Higher-Order Logic

This directory contains the Standard ML sources of the Isabelle system for
Higher-Order Logic.  Important files include

ROOT.ML -- loads all source files.  Enter an ML image containing Pure
Isabelle and type:    use "ROOT.ML";

Makefile -- compiles the files under Poly/ML or SML of New Jersey

ex -- subdirectory containing examples.  To execute them, enter an ML image
containing HOL and type:    use "ex/ROOT.ML";
