tuned deps;

Implementation
==============

Hide global names like Node.
Why is comp needed in addition to op O?
Explain in syntax section!

defs with = and pattern matching

replace "simp only split" by "split_tac".

arithmetic: allow mixed nat/int formulae
-> simplify proof of part1 in Inductive/AB.thy

Add map_cong?? (upto 10% slower)

Recdef: Get rid of function name in header.
Support mutual recursion (Konrad?)

use arith_tac in recdef to solve termination conditions?
-> new example in Recdef/termination

a tactic for replacing a specific occurrence:
apply(substitute [2] thm)

it would be nice if @term could deal with ?-vars.
then a number of (unchecked!) @texts could be converted to @terms.

it would be nice if one could get id to the enclosing quotes in the [source] option.

More predefined functions for datatypes: map?

Induction rules for int: int_le/ge_induct?
Needed for ifak example. But is that example worth it?


Minor fixes in the tutorial
===========================

explanation of absence of contrapos_pn in Rules?

get rid of use_thy in tutorial?

Explain typographic conventions?

an example of induction: !y. A --> B --> C ??

Appendix: Lexical: long ids.

Warning: infixes automatically become reserved words!

Forward ref from blast proof of Puzzle (AdvancedInd) to Isar proof?

mention split_split in advanced pair section.

recdef with nested recursion: either an example or at least a pointer to the
literature. In Recdef/termination.thy, at the end.
%FIXME, with one exception: nested recursion.

Syntax section: syntax annotations nor just for consts but also for constdefs and datatype.

Appendix with list functions.


Minor additions to the tutorial, unclear where
==============================================

Tacticals: , ? +

Mention that simp etc (big step tactics) insist on change?

Rules: Introduce "by" (as a kind of shorthand for apply+done, except that it
does more.)

A list of further useful commands (rules? tricks?)
prefer, defer, print_simpset (-> print_simps?)

An overview of the automatic methods: simp, auto, fast, blast, force,
clarify, clarsimp (intro, elim?)

Advanced Ind expects rule_format incl (no_asm) (which it currently explains!)
Where explained? Should go into a separate section as Inductive needs it as
well.

Where is "simplified" explained? Needed by Inductive/AB.thy

demonstrate x : set xs in Sets. Or Tricks chapter?

Appendix with HOL keywords. Say something about other keywords.


Possible exercises
==================

Exercises
%\begin{exercise}
%Extend expressions by conditional expressions.
braucht wfrec!
%\end{exercise}

Nested inductive datatypes: another example/exercise:
 size(t) <= size(subst s t)?

insertion sort: primrec, later recdef

OTree:
 first version only for non-empty trees:
 Tip 'a | Node tree tree
 Then real version?
 First primrec, then recdef?

Ind. sets: define ABC inductively and prove
ABC = {rep A n @ rep B n @ rep C n. True}

Possible examples/case studies
==============================

Trie: Define functional version
datatype ('a,'b)trie = Trie ('b option) ('a => ('a,'b)trie option)
lookup t [] = value t
lookup t (a#as) = case tries t a of None => None | Some s => lookup s as
Maybe as an exercise?

Trie: function for partial matches (prefixes). Needs sets for spec/proof.

Sets via ordered list of intervals. (Isa/Interval(2))

propositional logic (soundness and completeness?),
predicate logic (soundness?),

Tautology checker. Based on Ifexpr or prop.logic?
Include forward reference in relevant section.

Sorting with comp-parameter and with type class (<)

----------

Partial rekursive functions / Nontermination

What appears to be the problem:
axiom f n = f n + 1
lemma False
apply(cut_facts_tac axiom, simp).

1. Guarded recursion

Scheme:
f x = if $x \in dom(f)$ then ... else arbitrary

Example: sum/fact: int -> int (for no good reason because we have nat)

Exercise: ?! f. !i. f i = if i=0 then 1 else i*f(i-1)
(What about sum? Is there one, a unique one?)

[Alternative: include argument that is counted down
 f x n = if n=0 then None else ...
Refer to Boyer and Moore]

More complex: same_fst

chase(f,x) = if wf{(f x,x) . f x ~= x}
             then if f x = x then x else chase(f,f x)
             else arb

Prove wf ==> f(chase(f,x)) = chase(f,x)

2. While / Tail recursion

chase f x = fst(while (%(x,fx). x=fx) (%(x,fx). (fx,f fx)) (x,f x))

==> unfold eqn for chase? Prove fixpoint property?

Better(?) sum i = fst(while (%(s,i). i=0) (%(s,i). (s+i,i-1)) (0,i))
Prove 0 <= i ==> sum i = i*(i+1) via while-rule

Mention prototyping?
