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

- (#2 * x) = #2 * - x is not proved by arith

Relation: comp -> composition

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(subst [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?

Komischerweise geht das Splitten von _Annahmen_ auch mit simp_tac, was
ein generelles Feature ist, das man vielleicht mal abstellen sollte.

proper mutual simplification

defs with = and pattern matching??


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

I guess we should say "HOL" everywhere, with a remark early on about the
differences between our HOL and the other one.

warning: simp of asms from l to r; may require reordering (rotate_tac)

Adjust FP textbook refs: new Bird, Hudak
Discrete math textbook: Rosen?

say something about "abbreviations" when defs are introduced.

adjust type of ^ in tab:overloading

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

Explain type_definition and mention pre-proved thms in subset.thy?
-> Types/typedef

Appendix: Lexical: long ids.

Warning: infixes automatically become reserved words!

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

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.

Move section on rule inversion further to the front, and combine
\subsection{Universal quantifiers in introduction rules}
\subsection{Continuing the `ground terms' example}


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

unfold?


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

Exercises

For extensionality (in Sets chapter): prove
valif o norm = valif
in If-expression case study (Ifexpr)

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}

Partial rekursive functions / Nontermination:

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

Exercise
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

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 (<)

Recdef:more example proofs:
 if-normalization with measure function,
 nested if-normalization,
 quicksort
