\index{grammars!defining inductively|(}%
Grammars are nothing but shorthands for inductive definitions of nonterminals
which represent sets of strings. For example, the production
$A \to B c$ is short for
\[ w \in B \Longrightarrow wc \in A \]
This section demonstrates this idea with an example
due to Hopcroft and Ullman, a grammar for generating all words with an
equal number of $a$'s and~$b$'s:
\begin{eqnarray}
S &\to& \epsilon \mid b A \mid a B \nonumber\\
A &\to& a S \mid b A A \nonumber\\
B &\to& b S \mid a B B \nonumber
\end{eqnarray}
At the end we say a few words about the relationship between
the original proof \cite[p.\ts81]{HopcroftUllman} and our formal version.

We start by fixing the alphabet, which consists only of \isa{a}'s
and~\isa{b}'s:%

This may seem surprising at first, and is indeed an indication of the power
of inductive definitions. But it is also quite straightforward. For example,
consider the production $A \to b A A$: if $v,w \in A$ and the elements of $A$
contain one more $a$ than~$b$'s, then $bvw$ must again contain one more $a$
than~$b$'s.

As usual, the correctness of syntactic descriptions is easy, but completeness
is hard: does \isa{S} contain \emph{all} words with an equal number of
\isa{a}'s and \isa{b}'s? It turns out that this proof requires the
following lemma: every string with two more \isa{a}'s than \isa{b}'s can be cut somewhere such that each half has one more \isa{a} than
\isa{b}. This is best seen by imagining counting the difference between the
number of \isa{a}'s and \isa{b}'s starting at the left end of the
word. We start with 0 and end (at the right end) with 2. Since each move to the
right increases or decreases the difference by 1, we must have passed through
1 on our way from 0 to 2. Formally, we appeal to the following discrete
intermediate value theorem \isa{nat{\isadigit{0}}{\isaliteral{5F}{\isacharunderscore}}intermed{\isaliteral{5F}{\isacharunderscore}}int{\isaliteral{5F}{\isacharunderscore}}val}

where \isa{f} is of type \isa{nat\ {\isaliteral{5C3C52696768746172726F773E}{\isasymRightarrow}}\ int}, \isa{int} are the integers,
\isa{{\isaliteral{5C3C6261723E}{\isasymbar}}{\isaliteral{2E}{\isachardot}}{\isaliteral{5C3C6261723E}{\isasymbar}}} is the absolute value function\footnote{See
Table~\ref{tab:ascii} in the Appendix for the correct \textsc{ascii}
syntax.}, and \isa{{\isadigit{1}}} is the integer 1 (see \S\ref{sec:numbers}).

First we show that our specific function, the difference between the
numbers of \isa{a}'s and \isa{b}'s, does indeed only change by 1 in every
move to the right. At this point we also start generalizing from \isa{a}'s
and \isa{b}'s to an arbitrary property \isa{P}. Otherwise we would have
to prove the desired lemma twice, once as stated above and once with the
roles of \isa{a}'s and \isa{b}'s interchanged.%

The lemma is a bit hard to read because of the coercion function

a natural number, but subtraction on type~\isa{nat} will do the wrong thing.
Function \isa{take} is predefined and \isa{take\ i\ xs} is the prefix of
length \isa{i} of \isa{xs}; below we also need \isa{drop\ i\ xs}, which
is what remains after that prefix has been dropped from \isa{xs}.

The proof is by induction on \isa{w}, with a trivial base case, and a not
so trivial induction step. Since it is essentially just arithmetic, we do not
discuss it.%

\begin{isamarkuptxt}%
\noindent
The proof is by induction on \isa{w}. Structural induction would fail here
because, as we can see from the grammar, we need to make bigger steps than
merely appending a single letter at the front. Hence we induct on the length
of \isa{w}, using the induction rule \isa{length{\isaliteral{5F}{\isacharunderscore}}induct}:%

\noindent
The \isa{rule} parameter tells \isa{induct{\isaliteral{5F}{\isacharunderscore}}tac} explicitly which induction
rule to use. For details see \S\ref{sec:complete-ind} below.
In this case the result is that we may assume the lemma already
holds for all words shorter than \isa{w}. Because the induction step renames
the induction variable we rename it back to \isa{w}.

The proof continues with a case distinction on \isa{w},
on whether \isa{w} is empty or not.%

Simplification disposes of the base case and leaves only a conjunction

\isa{b\ {\isaliteral{23}{\isacharhash}}\ v\ {\isaliteral{5C3C696E3E}{\isasymin}}\ A}, and similarly for \isa{w\ {\isaliteral{3D}{\isacharequal}}\ b\ {\isaliteral{23}{\isacharhash}}\ v}.
We only consider the first case in detail.

After breaking the conjunction up into two cases, we can apply

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
We conclude this section with a comparison of our proof with 
Hopcroft\index{Hopcroft, J. E.} and Ullman's\index{Ullman, J. D.}
\cite[p.\ts81]{HopcroftUllman}.
For a start, the textbook
grammar, for no good reason, excludes the empty word, thus complicating
matters just a little bit: they have 8 instead of our 7 productions.

More importantly, the proof itself is different: rather than
separating the two directions, they perform one induction on the
length of a word. This deprives them of the beauty of rule induction,
and in the easy direction (correctness) their reasoning is more
detailed than our \isa{auto}. For the hard part (completeness), they
consider just one of the cases that our \isa{simp{\isaliteral{5F}{\isacharunderscore}}all} disposes of
automatically. Then they conclude the proof by saying about the
remaining cases: ``We do this in a manner similar to our method of
proof for part (1); this part is left to the reader''. But this is
precisely the part that requires the intermediate value theorem and
thus is not at all similar to the other cases (which are automatic in
Isabelle). The authors are at least cavalier about this point and may
even have overlooked the slight difficulty lurking in the omitted
cases.  Such errors are found in many pen-and-paper proofs when they
are scrutinized formally.%
