Several logics come with Isabelle.  Many of them are sufficiently developed
f40d61cd6b32 removal of FOL and ZF
paulson
parents:
diff changeset
     4
to serve as comfortable reasoning environments.  They are also good

     5
starting points for defining new logics.  Each logic is distributed with

sample proofs, some of which are described in this document.

The logics \texttt{FOL} (first-order logic) and \texttt{ZF} (axiomatic set

theory) are described in a separate manual~\cite{isabelle-ZF}.  Here are the

\item[\thydx{CCL}] is Martin Coen's Classical Computational Logic,
f40d61cd6b32 removal of FOL and ZF
paulson
parents:
diff changeset
    14
  which is the basis of a preliminary method for deriving programs from
f40d61cd6b32 removal of FOL and ZF
paulson
parents:
diff changeset
    15
  proofs~\cite{coen92}.  It is built upon classical~\FOL{}.

    18
  Functions, which is also implemented by the~{\sc lcf}

\item[\thydx{HOL}] is the higher-order logic of Church~\cite{church40},
f40d61cd6b32 removal of FOL and ZF
paulson

    22
which is also implemented by Gordon's~{\sc hol} system~\cite{mgordon-hol}.

This object-logic should not be confused with Isabelle's meta-logic, which is
f40d61cd6b32 removal of FOL and ZF
paulson
parents:
diff changeset
    24
also a form of higher-order logic.

The directory \texttt{Sequents} contains several logics based
f40d61cd6b32 removal of FOL and ZF
paulson
parents:
diff changeset
    37
  upon the sequent calculus.  Sequents have the form $A@1,\ldots,A@m\turn
f40d61cd6b32 removal of FOL and ZF
paulson
parents:
diff changeset
    38
B@1,\ldots,B@n$; rules are applied using associative matching.
