It is hardwired into the simplifier that while simplifying the conclusion $Q$
|
11196
|
25 |
of $P \Imp Q$ it is legal to make uses of the assumption $P$. This
|
9993
|
26 |
kind of contextual information can also be made available for other
|
|
27 |
operators. For example, \isa{xs\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ xs\ {\isacharat}\ xs\ {\isacharequal}\ xs} simplifies to \isa{True} because we may use \isa{xs\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}} when simplifying \isa{xs\ {\isacharat}\ xs\ {\isacharequal}\ xs}. The generation of contextual information during simplification is
|
|
28 |
controlled by so-called \bfindex{congruence rules}. This is the one for
|
|
29 |
\isa{{\isasymlongrightarrow}}:
|
|
30 |
\begin{isabelle}%
|
10696
|
31 |
\ \ \ \ \ {\isasymlbrakk}P\ {\isacharequal}\ P{\isacharprime}{\isacharsemicolon}\ P{\isacharprime}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ Q\ {\isacharequal}\ Q{\isacharprime}{\isasymrbrakk}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharparenleft}P\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharparenleft}P{\isacharprime}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q{\isacharprime}{\isacharparenright}%
|
9993
|
32 |
\end{isabelle}
|
|
33 |
It should be read as follows:
|
|
34 |
In order to simplify \isa{P\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q} to \isa{P{\isacharprime}\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ Q{\isacharprime}},
|
|
35 |
simplify \isa{P} to \isa{P{\isacharprime}}
|
|
36 |
and assume \isa{P{\isacharprime}} when simplifying \isa{Q} to \isa{Q{\isacharprime}}.
|
|
37 |
|
|
38 |
Here are some more examples. The congruence rules for bounded
|
|
39 |
quantifiers supply contextual information about the bound variable:
|
|
40 |
\begin{isabelle}%

|
9993
|
43 |
\end{isabelle}
|
11196
|
44 |
The congruence rule for conditional expressions supplies contextual
|
|
45 |
information for simplifying the \isa{then} and \isa{else} cases:
|
9993
|
46 |
\begin{isabelle}%
|
10696
|
47 |
\ \ \ \ \ {\isasymlbrakk}b\ {\isacharequal}\ c{\isacharsemicolon}\ c\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ u{\isacharsemicolon}\ {\isasymnot}\ c\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ v{\isasymrbrakk}\isanewline
|
10950
|
48 |
\isaindent{\ \ \ \ \ }{\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharparenleft}if\ b\ then\ x\ else\ y{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharparenleft}if\ c\ then\ u\ else\ v{\isacharparenright}%
|
9993
|
49 |
\end{isabelle}
|
|
50 |
A congruence rule can also \emph{prevent} simplification of some arguments.
|
|
51 |
Here is an alternative congruence rule for conditional expressions:
|
|
52 |
\begin{isabelle}%
|
|
53 |
\ \ \ \ \ b\ {\isacharequal}\ c\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharparenleft}if\ b\ then\ x\ else\ y{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharparenleft}if\ c\ then\ x\ else\ y{\isacharparenright}%
|
|
54 |
\end{isabelle}
|
|
55 |
Only the first argument is simplified; the others remain unchanged.
|
|
56 |
This makes simplification much faster and is faithful to the evaluation
|
|
57 |
strategy in programming languages, which is why this is the default
|
11196
|
58 |
congruence rule for \isa{if}. Analogous rules control the evaluation of
|
9993
|
59 |
\isa{case} expressions.
|
|
60 |
|
11458
|
61 |
You can declare your own congruence rules with the attribute \attrdx{cong},
|
9993
|
62 |
either globally, in the usual manner,
|
|
63 |
\begin{quote}
|
|

\isacommand{declare} \textit{theorem-name} \isa{{\isacharbrackleft}cong{\isacharbrackright}}

or locally in a \isa{simp} call by adding the modifier

|
|
68 |
\isa{cong{\isacharcolon}} \textit{list of theorem names}

An equation is a \bfindex{permutative rewrite rule} if the left-hand
|
|
91 |
side and right-hand side are the same up to renaming of variables. The most
|
|
92 |
common permutative rule is commutativity: \isa{x\ {\isacharplus}\ y\ {\isacharequal}\ y\ {\isacharplus}\ x}. Other examples
|
|
93 |
include \isa{x\ {\isacharminus}\ y\ {\isacharminus}\ z\ {\isacharequal}\ x\ {\isacharminus}\ z\ {\isacharminus}\ y} in arithmetic and \isa{insert\ x\ {\isacharparenleft}insert\ y\ A{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharequal}\ insert\ y\ {\isacharparenleft}insert\ x\ A{\isacharparenright}} for sets. Such rules are problematic because
|
|
94 |
once they apply, they can be used forever. The simplifier is aware of this
|
|
95 |
danger and treats permutative rules by means of a special strategy, called
|
|
96 |
\bfindex{ordered rewriting}: a permutative rewrite
|
10978
|
97 |
rule is only applied if the term becomes smaller with respect to a fixed
|
|
98 |
lexicographic ordering on terms. For example, commutativity rewrites
|
9993
|
99 |
\isa{b\ {\isacharplus}\ a} to \isa{a\ {\isacharplus}\ b}, but then stops because \isa{a\ {\isacharplus}\ b} is strictly
|
|
100 |
smaller than \isa{b\ {\isacharplus}\ a}. Permutative rewrite rules can be turned into
|
|
101 |
simplification rules in the usual manner via the \isa{simp} attribute; the
|
|
102 |
simplifier recognizes their special status automatically.
|
|
103 |
|
|
104 |
Permutative rewrite rules are most effective in the case of
|
10281
|
105 |
associative-commutative functions. (Associativity by itself is not
|
|
106 |
permutative.) When dealing with an AC-function~$f$, keep the
|
9993
|
107 |
following points in mind:
|
10281
|
108 |
\begin{itemize}\index{associative-commutative function}
|
9993
|
109 |
|
|
110 |
\item The associative law must always be oriented from left to right,
|
|
111 |
namely $f(f(x,y),z) = f(x,f(y,z))$. The opposite orientation, if
|
|
112 |
used with commutativity, can lead to nontermination.
|
|
113 |
|
|
114 |
\item To complete your set of rewrite rules, you must add not just
|
|
115 |
associativity~(A) and commutativity~(C) but also a derived rule, {\bf
|
|
116 |
left-com\-mut\-ativ\-ity} (LC): $f(x,f(y,z)) = f(y,f(x,z))$.
|
|
117 |
\end{itemize}
|
|
118 |
Ordered rewriting with the combination of A, C, and LC sorts a term
|
|
119 |
lexicographically:
|
|
120 |
\[\def\maps#1{~\stackrel{#1}{\leadsto}~}
|
|
121 |
f(f(b,c),a) \maps{A} f(b,f(c,a)) \maps{C} f(b,f(a,c)) \maps{LC} f(a,f(b,c)) \]
|
|
122 |
|
|
123 |
Note that ordered rewriting for \isa{{\isacharplus}} and \isa{{\isacharasterisk}} on numbers is rarely
|
10878
|
124 |
necessary because the built-in arithmetic prover often succeeds without
|
11196
|
125 |
such tricks.%

Roughly speaking, the simplifier proceeds bottom-up (subterms are simplified
|
|
134 |
first) and a conditional equation is only applied if its condition could be
|
10186
|
135 |
proved (again by simplification). Below we explain some special features of the rewriting process.%

\index{simplification rule|(}
|
|
143 |
So far we have pretended the simplifier can deal with arbitrary
|
|
144 |
rewrite rules. This is not quite true. Due to efficiency (and
|
|
145 |
potentially also computability) reasons, the simplifier expects the
|
|
146 |
left-hand side of each rule to be a so-called \emph{higher-order
|
|
147 |
pattern}~\cite{nipkow-patterns}\indexbold{higher-order
|
|
148 |
pattern}\indexbold{pattern, higher-order}. This restricts where
|
|
149 |
unknowns may occur. Higher-order patterns are terms in $\beta$-normal
|
|
150 |
form (this will always be the case unless you have done something
|
|
151 |
strange) where each occurrence of an unknown is of the form
|
|
152 |
$\Var{f}~x@1~\dots~x@n$, where the $x@i$ are distinct bound
|
10978
|
153 |
variables. Thus all ordinary rewrite rules, where all unknowns are
|
10186
|
154 |
of base type, for example \isa{{\isacharquery}m\ {\isacharplus}\ {\isacharquery}n\ {\isacharplus}\ {\isacharquery}k\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharquery}m\ {\isacharplus}\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isacharquery}n\ {\isacharplus}\ {\isacharquery}k{\isacharparenright}}, are OK: if an unknown is
|
|
155 |
of base type, it cannot have any arguments. Additionally, the rule
|
|
156 |
\isa{{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymforall}x{\isachardot}\ {\isacharquery}P\ x\ {\isasymand}\ {\isacharquery}Q\ x{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymforall}x{\isachardot}\ {\isacharquery}P\ x{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymand}\ {\isacharparenleft}{\isasymforall}x{\isachardot}\ {\isacharquery}Q\ x{\isacharparenright}{\isacharparenright}} is also OK, in
|
|
157 |
both directions: all arguments of the unknowns \isa{{\isacharquery}P} and
|
|
158 |
\isa{{\isacharquery}Q} are distinct bound variables.
|
|
159 |
|
|
160 |
If the left-hand side is not a higher-order pattern, not all is lost
|
|
161 |
and the simplifier will still try to apply the rule, but only if it
|
10878
|
162 |
matches \emph{directly}, i.e.\ without much $\lambda$-calculus hocus
|
10186
|
163 |
pocus. For example, \isa{{\isacharquery}f\ {\isacharquery}x\ {\isasymin}\ range\ {\isacharquery}f\ {\isacharequal}\ True} rewrites
|
|
164 |
\isa{g\ a\ {\isasymin}\ range\ g} to \isa{True}, but will fail to match
|
|
165 |
\isa{g{\isacharparenleft}h\ b{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymin}\ range{\isacharparenleft}{\isasymlambda}x{\isachardot}\ g{\isacharparenleft}h\ x{\isacharparenright}{\isacharparenright}}. However, you can
|
|
166 |
replace the offending subterms (in our case \isa{{\isacharquery}f\ {\isacharquery}x}, which
|
|
167 |
is not a pattern) by adding new variables and conditions: \isa{{\isacharquery}y\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharquery}f\ {\isacharquery}x\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharquery}y\ {\isasymin}\ range\ {\isacharquery}f\ {\isacharequal}\ True} is fine
|
|
168 |
as a conditional rewrite rule since conditions can be arbitrary
|
|
169 |
terms. However, this trick is not a panacea because the newly
|
11196
|
170 |
introduced conditions may be hard to solve.
|
10186
|
171 |
|
10878
|
172 |
There is no restriction on the form of the right-hand
|
10186
|
173 |
sides. They may not contain extraneous term or type variables, though.%

When a theorem is declared a simplification rule, it need not be a
|
10186
|
182 |
conditional equation already. The simplifier will turn it into a set of
|
10878
|
183 |
conditional equations automatically. For example, \isa{f\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ g\ x\ {\isasymand}\ h\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ k\ x} becomes the two separate
|
|
184 |
simplification rules \isa{f\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ g\ x} and \isa{h\ x\ {\isacharequal}\ k\ x}. In
|
10186
|
185 |
general, the input theorem is converted as follows:
|
|
186 |
\begin{eqnarray}
|
10878
|
187 |
\neg P &\mapsto& P = \hbox{\isa{False}} \nonumber\\
|
10186
|
188 |
P \longrightarrow Q &\mapsto& P \Longrightarrow Q \nonumber\\
|
|
189 |
P \land Q &\mapsto& P,\ Q \nonumber\\
|
|
190 |
\forall x.~P~x &\mapsto& P~\Var{x}\nonumber\\
|
|
191 |
\forall x \in A.\ P~x &\mapsto& \Var{x} \in A \Longrightarrow P~\Var{x} \nonumber\\
|
|
192 |
\isa{if}\ P\ \isa{then}\ Q\ \isa{else}\ R &\mapsto&
|
|
193 |
P \Longrightarrow Q,\ \neg P \Longrightarrow R \nonumber
|
|
194 |
\end{eqnarray}
|
|
195 |
Once this conversion process is finished, all remaining non-equations
|
10878
|
196 |
$P$ are turned into trivial equations $P =\isa{True}$.
|
|
197 |
For example, the formula
|
|
198 |
\begin{center}\isa{{\isacharparenleft}p\ {\isasymlongrightarrow}\ t\ {\isacharequal}\ u\ {\isasymand}\ {\isasymnot}\ r{\isacharparenright}\ {\isasymand}\ s}\end{center}

10845

199 |

\isa{p\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ t\ {\isacharequal}\ u},\quad \isa{p\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ r\ {\isacharequal}\ False},\quad \isa{s\ {\isacharequal}\ True}.
