\heading{Inductive Definitions}
\begin{itemize}
  \item {\bf datatypes}
    \begin{itemize}
      \item finite lists, trees
      \item syntax of expressions, \ldots
    \end{itemize}
  \item {\bf inference systems}
    \begin{itemize}
      \item transitive closure of a relation
      \item transition systems
      \item structural operational semantics
    \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

Supported by Boyer/Moore, HOL, Coq, \ldots, Isabelle/ZF
\end{slide}


\begin{slide}
\heading{Coinductive Definitions}
\begin{itemize}
  \item {\bf codatatypes}
    \begin{itemize}
      \item {\it infinite\/} lists, trees
      \item  syntax of {\it infinite\/} expressions, \ldots
    \end{itemize}
  \item {\bf bisimulation relations}
    \begin{itemize}
      \item process equivalence
      \item uses in functional programming (Abramksy, Howe)
    \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

Supported by \ldots ?, \ldots, Isabelle/ZF
\end{slide}


\begin{slide}
\heading{The Knaster-Tarksi Fixedpoint Theorem}
$h$ a monotone function

$D$ a set such that $h(D)\sbs D$

The {\bf least} fixedpoint $\lfp(D,h)$ yields {\bf inductive} definitions

The {\bf greatest} fixedpoint $\gfp(D,h)$ yields {\bf coinductive} definitions

{\it A general approach\/}:
\begin{itemize}
  \item handles all provably monotone definitions
  \item works for set theory, higher-order logic, \ldots
\end{itemize}
\end{slide}


\begin{slide}
\heading{An Implementation in Isabelle/ZF}\centering
\begin{itemize}
  \item {\bf Input} 
     \begin{itemize}
      \item description of {\it introduction rules\/} \& tree's {\it
          constructors\/} 
      \item {\it theorems\/} implying that the definition is {\it monotonic\/}
    \end{itemize}
  \item {\bf Output} 
     \begin{itemize}
      \item (co)induction rules
      \item case analysis rule and {\it rule inversion\/} tools, \ldots
    \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}

{\it flexible, secure, \ldots but fast\/}

\begin{slide}
\heading{Working Examples}
\begin{itemize}
  \item lists
  \item terms recursive over lists: $\term(A) = A\times\lst(\term(A))$
  \item primitive recursive functions
  \item lazy lists
  \item bisimulations for lazy lists
  \item combinator reductions; Church-Rosser Theorem
  \item mutually recursive trees \& forests
\end{itemize}
\end{slide}


\begin{slide}
\heading{Other Work Using Fixedpoints}
{\bf The HOL system}:
\begin{itemize}
  \item Melham's induction package: special case of Fixedpoint Theorem
  \item Andersen \& Petersen's induction package
  \item (no HOL datatype package uses fixedpoints)
\end{itemize}

{\bf Coq and LEGO}:
\begin{itemize}
  \item (Co)induction {\it almost\/} expressible in base logic (CoC)
  \item \ldots{} inductive definitions are built-in
\end{itemize}
\end{slide}


\begin{slide}
\heading{Limitations \& Future Developments}\centering
\begin{itemize}
  \item {\bf infinite-branching trees}
    \begin{itemize}
      \item justification requires proof
      \item would be easier to {\it build them in\/}!
    \end{itemize}
  \item {\bf recursive function definitions}
    \begin{itemize}
      \item use {\it well-founded\/} recursion
      \item distinct from datatype definitions
    \end{itemize}
  \item {\bf port to Isabelle/HOL}
\end{itemize}
