\begin{isamarkuptext}%
Computer science applications abound with inductively defined
structures, which is why we treat them in more detail. HOL already
comes with a datatype of lists with the two constructors \isa{Nil}
and \isa{Cons}. \isa{Nil} is written \isa{{\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}} and \isa{Cons\ x\ xs} is written \isa{x\ {\isacharhash}\ xs}.%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
We have already met the \isa{cases} method for performing
binary case splits. Here is another example:%

\begin{isamarkuptext}%
\noindent The two cases must come in this order because \isa{cases} merely abbreviates \isa{{\isacharparenleft}rule\ case{\isacharunderscore}split{\isacharunderscore}thm{\isacharparenright}} where
\isa{case{\isacharunderscore}split{\isacharunderscore}thm} is \isa{{\isasymlbrakk}{\isacharquery}P\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharquery}Q{\isacharsemicolon}\ {\isasymnot}\ {\isacharquery}P\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharquery}Q{\isasymrbrakk}\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharquery}Q}. If we reverse
the order of the two cases in the proof, the first case would prove
\isa{{\isasymnot}\ A\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isasymnot}\ A\ {\isasymor}\ A} which would solve the first premise of
\isa{case{\isacharunderscore}split{\isacharunderscore}thm}, instantiating \isa{{\isacharquery}P} with \isa{{\isasymnot}\ A}, thus making the second premise \isa{{\isasymnot}\ {\isasymnot}\ A\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isasymnot}\ A\ {\isasymor}\ A}.
Therefore the order of subgoals is not always completely arbitrary.

The above proof is appropriate if \isa{A} is textually small.
However, if \isa{A} is large, we do not want to repeat it. This can
be avoided by the following idiom%
\end{isamarkuptext}%

\noindent which is like the previous proof but instantiates
\isa{{\isacharquery}P} right away with \isa{A}. Thus we could prove the two
cases in any order. The phrase `\isakeyword{case}~\isa{True}'
abbreviates `\isakeyword{assume}~\isa{True{\isacharcolon}\ A}' and analogously for
\isa{False} and \isa{{\isasymnot}\ A}.

The same game can be played with other datatypes, for example lists,
where \isa{tl} is the tail of a list, and \isa{length} returns a
natural number (remember: $0-1=0$):%

`\isakeyword{assume}~\isa{Nil{\isacharcolon}}~\isa{xs\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharbrackleft}{\isacharbrackright}}' and
`\isakeyword{case}~\isa{Cons}'
abbreviates `\isakeyword{fix}~\isa{{\isacharquery}\ {\isacharquery}{\isacharquery}}
\isakeyword{assume}~\isa{Cons{\isacharcolon}}~\isa{xs\ {\isacharequal}\ {\isacharquery}\ {\isacharhash}\ {\isacharquery}{\isacharquery}}'
where \isa{{\isacharquery}} and \isa{{\isacharquery}{\isacharquery}}
stand for variable names that have been chosen by the system.
Therefore we cannot refer to them.
Luckily, this proof is simple enough we do not need to refer to them.
However, sometimes one may have to. Hence Isar offers a simple scheme for
naming those variables: replace the anonymous \isa{Cons} by
\isa{{\isacharparenleft}Cons\ y\ ys{\isacharparenright}}, which abbreviates `\isakeyword{fix}~\isa{y\ ys}
\isakeyword{assume}~\isa{Cons{\isacharcolon}}~\isa{xs\ {\isacharequal}\ y\ {\isacharhash}\ ys}'.
In each \isakeyword{case} the assumption can be
referred to inside the proof by the name of the constructor. In
Section~\ref{sec:full-Ind} below we will come across an example
of this.%

\isamarkupfalse%
\isamarkupfalse%
%
\begin{isamarkuptext}%
\noindent The constraint \isa{{\isacharcolon}{\isacharcolon}nat} is needed because all of
the operations involved are overloaded.

If we want to expose more of the structure of the
proof, we can use pattern matching to avoid having to repeat the goal
statement:%

proof. Instead we explore the same avenue as for case distinctions:
introducing context via the \isakeyword{case} command:%

corresponding case to be proved, i.e.\ \isa{{\isacharquery}P\ {\isadigit{0}}} in the first case and
\isa{{\isacharquery}P{\isacharparenleft}Suc\ n{\isacharparenright}} in the second case. Context \isakeyword{case}~\isa{{\isadigit{0}}} is
empty whereas \isakeyword{case}~\isa{Suc} assumes \isa{{\isacharquery}P\ n}. Again we
have the same problem as with case distinctions: we cannot refer to an anonymous \isa{n}
in the induction step because it has not been introduced via \isakeyword{fix}
(in contrast to the previous proof). The solution is the one outlined for
\isa{Cons} above: replace \isa{Suc} by \isa{{\isacharparenleft}Suc\ i{\isacharparenright}}:%

\isamarkupsubsection{Induction formulae involving \isa{{\isasymAnd}} or \isa{{\isasymLongrightarrow}}\label{sec:full-Ind}%
}
\isamarkuptrue%
%
\begin{isamarkuptext}%
Let us now consider the situation where the goal to be proved contains
\isa{{\isasymAnd}} or \isa{{\isasymLongrightarrow}}, say \isa{{\isasymAnd}x{\isachardot}\ P\ x\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ Q\ x} --- motivation and a
real example follow shortly.  This means that in each case of the induction,
\isa{{\isacharquery}case} would be of the form \isa{{\isasymAnd}x{\isachardot}\ P{\isacharprime}\ x\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ Q{\isacharprime}\ x}.  Thus the
first proof steps will be the canonical ones, fixing \isa{x} and assuming
\isa{P{\isacharprime}\ x}. To avoid this tedium, induction performs these steps
automatically: for example in case \isa{{\isacharparenleft}Suc\ n{\isacharparenright}}, \isa{{\isacharquery}case} is only
\isa{Q{\isacharprime}\ x} whereas the assumptions (named \isa{Suc}!) contain both the
usual induction hypothesis \emph{and} \isa{P{\isacharprime}\ x}.
It should be clear how this generalises to more complex formulae.

As an example we will now prove complete induction via
structural induction.%

\noindent Given the explanations above and the comments in the
proof text (only necessary for novices), the proof should be quite
readable.

The statement of the lemma is interesting because it deviates from the style in
the Tutorial~\cite{LNCS2283}, which suggests to introduce \isa{{\isasymforall}} or
\isa{{\isasymlongrightarrow}} into a theorem to strengthen it for induction. In Isar
proofs we can use \isa{{\isasymAnd}} and \isa{{\isasymLongrightarrow}} instead. This simplifies the
proof and means we do not have to convert between the two kinds of
connectives.

Note that in a nested induction over the same data type, the inner
case labels hide the outer ones of the same name. If you want to refer
to the outer ones inside, you need to name them on the outside, e.g.\
\isakeyword{note}~\isa{outer{\isacharunderscore}IH\ {\isacharequal}\ Suc}.%

\in R$ piped into the proof, here \isakeyword{using}~\isa{A}. The
proof itself follows the inductive definition very
closely: there is one case for each rule, and it has the same name as
the rule, analogous to structural induction.

\noindent We start the proof with \isakeyword{from}~\isa{A\ B}. Only \isa{A} is ``consumed'' by the induction step.
Since \isa{B} is left over we don't just prove \isa{{\isacharquery}thesis} but \isa{B\ {\isasymLongrightarrow}\ {\isacharquery}thesis}, just as in the previous proof. The
base case is trivial. In the assumptions for the induction step we can
see very clearly how things fit together and permit ourselves the
obvious forward step \isa{IH{\isacharbrackleft}OF\ B{\isacharbrackright}}.

The notation `\isakeyword{case}~\isa{(}\emph{constructor} \emph{vars}\isa{)}'
is also supported for inductive definitions. The \emph{constructor} is (the
name of) the rule and the \emph{vars} fix the free variables in the
rule; the order of the \emph{vars} must correspond to the
\emph{alphabetical order} of the variables as they appear in the rule.
For example, we could start the above detailed proof of the induction
with \isakeyword{case}~\isa{(step x' x y)}. However, we can then only
refer to the assumptions named \isa{step} collectively and not
individually, as the above proof requires.%

rules are applied. As a simple example we have chosen recursion
induction, i.e.\ induction based on a recursive function
definition. However, most of what we show works for induction in
general.

called 1, 2, etc, unless they have been named explicitly. The latter happens
only with datatypes and inductively defined sets, but not with recursive

for how to reason with chains of equations) to demonstrate that the
`\isakeyword{case}~\isa{(}\emph{constructor} \emph{vars}\isa{)}' notation also
works for arbitrary induction theorems with numbered cases. The order
of the \emph{vars} corresponds to the order of the
\isa{{\isasymAnd}}-quantified variables in each case of the induction
theorem. For induction theorems produced by \isakeyword{recdef} it is
the order in which the variables appear on the left-hand side of the
equation.
